Welcome from MA. Looks like you aren't doing too badly following patterns. Did you post a chicken quilt? I didn't see one, but I might have missed it. I found that the 1/4" pressure foot with the guide edge works best for me. Other than practice, practice, practice, I don't have anything to recommend, as I still occasionally have my blocks be slightly off. That's why I always square them up to one size before putting them together, makes it a lot easier that way.

Your quilt looks good to me. Doesn't appear you need any help.

Your quilt is beautiful. Just slow down a little and maybe take a class. Sometimes just learning terminology can help sooooo much.

Your work is very nice. Keep at it and you will eventually master the 1/4" thing. I have to use a stiletto toward the end of my seams to keep them from going wonky. The feed dogs want to grab and travel if I am not careful. The quilting on your quilt is great!!!

I use the 1/4 in. foot that has a center blade in it so I can run the fabric right up against it and be sure I get that 1/4 in I am looking for. I have a Pfaff machine but I am sure the other machine companies have them as well. Jan
