    I just found this same presser foot on ebay for $14.00, which was a little over $4.00 less than the one on Amazon. I also have a TL2010Q and just ordered it. Thanks for the tip and info!!!

    I was not completely satisfied with the compensating presser foot. It's not a scant 1/4", which means that the seam itself actually eats away on the allowance making the finished piece just a little too small. If I only did squares it would be ok. But I'm not doing squares at the moment...

    I put my needle down and measure out from it with a metal 6in. ruler. Mark on the needle plate and put tape or post it notes. 2 or 3 layers of tape works good.

    My Juki 2010Q came with a 1/4" foot but no right guide , so I just bought one on eBay with the guide and it works great. Guess I do a belt and suspenders approach as I also bought a separate seam guide that looks like a T-bar and it screws on the front plate that I but up against the right side of the pressure foot guide. This gives me a full two inches of a hard surface to guide the fabric through evenly.

    I have a Pfaff with the snap on 1/4" foot with edge guide and love it. It is a scant 1/4 inch foot. I also have a Juki TL2010Q. It is a high shank machine. I have an older Pfaff that is high shank too. In order to use the snap on feet for the older machine, I got an adapter for snap on feet. I screw the adapter on my older machine and then can use the snap on feet from the newer pfaff including the 1/4" foot with edge guide.. Since as I mentioned the Juki is high shank, I tried the adapter on it, so I could use the 1/4" foot and it works beautifully. I now have a scant 1/4" for my Juki. I have tried some of the high shank 1/4" feet with edge guides that can be ordered online and they are a true 1/4 ", not a scant 1/4'.

    Here is the adaptor. It is rather pricey, but I got mine several years ago, and it wasn't that much.

    For those who don't have a scant 1/4" foot, this tool is very helpful for marking the scant 1/4" line for post it notes, or tape.

    That would be just excellent! I do love my Pfaff 1/4" foot! I couldn't have managed the wedding ring quilt without it!

    I use a quarter inch foot I bought that has a guard on it. Bernina #57. It is a real help. As far as using the walking foot for piecing, no I only use it for when the fabric layers are too heavy to slide under the foot easily. The foot is intended to feed the fabric evenly both top and bottom which allows matching up plaids or prints perfectly.

    On the other hand I do use it for straight or stitching in the ditch quilting. It works great for that.
