SCANT part that I'm messing up. With the 1/4 inch foot, there's not much room to move my needle over. Do I need to change my foot? I'm at my wit's end here. Can anybody give me any advice? I"ve done the search here and nothing seems to 'click' with me. Hellllllp! Please.

I have the 6600P and I can move my foot over to 4.7 or more (to the right) so I don't quite understand why you don't have much room to move your needle over? As I am quite a few days behind and have only a limited time on here right now I am not reading the full thread, so I hope someone was able to help you with this who has the same machine

I still like the saying "If you can't see it while riding a horse ten feet away, don't worry about it'. No one is perfect and no one's quilt should be either. But I do use the 1/4inch foot on my Janome 7700.
