I think my problem is that I don't always feed the fabric in straight past my 1/4" foot, and that throws me off sometimes.
|
3/8 inch is *larger* than a 1/4". 3/16" is what you need for a scant 1/4"
|
I'm pretty good at the quarter inch seam but am still working on the scant. Sigh.
|
I found out that the 1/4" mark on my Janome is actually a scant 1/4". I found this out AFTER I plunked my money down for a 1/4" foot :cry:
|
great job. i'm lucky i can move my needle when i need to do the scant 1/4
|
I am a slave to my 1/4 inch foot! If it can't be done with that I just don't try! I am a whimp, I know!
|
I've never figured out the reasoning behind the "scant" 1/4"? Why would you use it instead of just the 1/4"?
|
I've heard that using a scant, saves even more fabric. I have figured out how to do it, but, I rather stick with quarter inch, it will withstand better with every day use I think
