I also use Jan's method with a 1/2" strip of the sticky end of 5 sheets held down on the machine with Scotch tape. I place the strip so the needle is a scant 1/4" from the edge of the sticky strip. Then I butt the edge of the fabric against the strip. I place on finger on the edge of the strip and can feel the fabrci butted against the edge.
When the bottom sheet of the strip gets' linty, I take it off and use only four. After that I replace the strip. I also use a stiletto to guide the fabric.
