Oh where oh where can I get a magnetic seam guide? I've never seen or heard of one! I too need all the help I can get... :)
I found one among my mom's quilting supplies but I saw them at Joann's Thursday by the sewing machine oil and all the other things they have for sewing machines. I just found one online that matches mine. It's made by Dritz and this one was at Hancocks
