Tool for scant 1/4" seam
I just discovered this site that has this tool for the dreaded scant 1/4" seam. It is $11.95.
Just thought I'd pass this on I,m going to order one ASAP. Elaine http://www.guidelines4quilting.com/purchase.html |
Thanks for sharing! I am going to try to order these too.
|
I have a 1/4 inch foot that allows me to move the needle as apposed to one with just a single needle hole. I love it.
|
I took a workshop from Bonnie Hunter a few weeks ago and she had 1/4" ruler guide you put your machine needle in and then mark to get exact 1/4" or scant 1/4" seams. It cost $3 or $5, I don't remember, I don't know if she has them for sale on her website.
|
Has anyone tried the old seam guide that you screw into the machine to hold the measurement like when sewing clothes with 5/8 seams?
|
OK, I went to the site and ordered. Thanks for sharing the link:)
|
Let us know what you think once you have tried it. Thanks.

Darn it! I wasn't going to buy any more tools or rulers! Oh well I'll start tomorrow!

Like you, I,ll start tomorrow, LOL. |
If you can measure carefully, you can use double sided scotch tape and tape a stick of gum down on your machine at whatever seam allowance you want. This is how I taught my 4H girls to sew a straight seam.
