That should help alot of the those that have trouble with the 1/4"! very clear and great info!

i used the post-it notes for a long time..or the "mole skin pads".

Thanks Jan. I've tried this in the past, but as you said, it doesn't stick well. Now I'll save my broccoli rubber bands for this.

Great tip! Inconsistant 1/4 seams has been a real pain for me. As a new quilter I didn't understand the importantance of it. I have much improved with time but this idea will help me even more. Thanks!

Coating the bottom of the sticky notes with rubber cement (NOT GLUE) might help them stay in place longer, and won't damage your machine. I think the rubber band is a great idea!

Rubber cement can also be used on the back of rulers to keep them from sliding.

Mechanical pencils are great for drawing lines, and they don't 'fatten out' as they age.
