I read on this wonderful board that the cheapest seam guide is a thick stack of post-it-notes to guide the elusive scant 1/4" seam. OMG - how easy! Why did I resist for so long??? And when it needs to be removed for diagonal seams, bobbin changing or loses its stickiness - just remove the one from the bottom and re-stick. Thank you, whoever it was that conviced me to try this! Makes me want to go sew JUST ONE MORE SEAM!

The only way to sew with straight lines!!! I started doing this last year it is amazing how something so simple can make such a big difference!

Another way to make straight seams is to take a thick slice of masking tape and place it as far as you need away from your needle to guide the fabric. I cut a deep slice across the width of a masking tape roll with a utility knife (about 7-10 layers thick). Unroll your slice and place it 1/4 inch from your needle in front of the presser foot. Your fabric should glide along the tape edge toward the needle keeping a straight seam.

Are you saying that use a post it note stack beside your foot to keep your seam line straight?
Why not use what they have been using for years,either the magnetic seam allowance guide or Moleskin! |
