First I want ta say that I'm not happy with this block. The contrast is wrong & it won't lay flat! I also scorched some of the starch when I put these borders on.

I use moleskin for my 1/4 inch 'cause I haven't got a 1/4 inch foot for this machine. (A 401A)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]317738[/ATTACH]
This picture & the next show where the 1/4 place is on the walking foot.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]317739[/ATTACH]
This one shows exactly where the fabric lines up with the mole skin.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]317740[/ATTACH]
I can see where the edge of the fabric is supposed ta be through the opening in the foot.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]317741[/ATTACH]
Press the fabric with the tiny border open.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]317743[/ATTACH]
When you have the next border (blue in this case) on the block you line the first stitch line with walking foot 1/4 inch spot.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]317744[/ATTACH]
Another view so you can git the idea.

Press both sides open & trim the seam allowance ta 1/4.

Tada!

Dubib...love the look that the 1/4 inch stip gives. Using your presser foot and then trimming the fabric is genius. Thanks for having something to look at with my morning coffee. Tuesday is a very slow day with the ponies!
