My DH bought me a Juki and a 1/4" foot special for piecing block. It works great and did not cost alot of money for it and so I alway get my quarter inch correct. Check with the dealer or local sewing shop. But I found the foot also fits my Janome also, so he bought another for that little machine to take where ever I go. I definately recommend it.

is anyone using 'Perfect Piecing Seam Guide' for scant 1/4 inch sewing?
I am struggling to have good scant 1/4 inch seam on my Juki. |

I simply use one of my rulers that has thin lines on it. Would work just as well. Here is a link to it on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/PERKINS-DRY-GO...dp/B004KYYN82/ I place my ruler under the presser foot in a similar manner, lower the needle so it is just to the right of the 1/4" line on my ruler, lower the presser foot to hold the ruler in place, make sure the ruler is running straight from front to back, and use the hard right edge to position an adhesive seam guide in place for my piecing. My favorite is this Dritz product: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but it may no longer be available. If not, I will go back to my trusty moleskin. (Moleskin is an adhesive foam product available in the foot section of any pharmacy, Target, Walmart, etc.). This creates a solid guide against which I can butt my strips as I sew.
