That would be what I would do at least once! I love this tip and I'm going to give it a try. Thanks.

I don't set my machine to a longer stitch, but have never had any problems removing the 4-5 stitches when needed. Knowing my luck, I'd set it to a longer stitch and forget to set it back when I sewed the entire seam! :lol:

I have found making accurate 1/4" seams help alot too and I put a pin in front of the intersecting seams, flip open to make sure they match and sew away.

My seams are accurate - never lose a point (knock on wood) - but this tip ensures my seams align. I hate seams that don't align; just one of my pet peeves ;)
