Scant or 1/4.??? |
I use a scant for accurate sizing of blocks. It is only like a stitch width, to allow for pressing seams. There is still plenty of room on the other side and will be reinforced even more when the quilting is done.

I use 1/4 inch, just follow the foot.
|
I start out with a scant 1/4" and usually I will make a sample block.
Some patterns require the scant and some don't, many don't state which to use lol. I would rather start with a scant and resew a seam, than rip out a 1/4" to sew a scant :wink: :D:D:D |
Before I start a new project I do the 3 strips test until I have a perfect 1/4".
Works for me. |
For me, it depends on the block or quilt pattern and sometimes how many seams there are.
|
I always try to use scant. Sometimes it's tough, but the quilting does add stability.
|
I use 1/4 inch always. I read about a scant 1/4 inch foot, for the machine, and it stated that it is only 1 thread line smaller than the 1/4 inch foot...I saw no need for that.

I use a scant.
