Jan in VA! Thank you so much for such an easy tip!! I always wiggle-wobble somewhere along a seam line and this is so simple, and accurate, can't wait to try it!! Patty

At a retreat, taught by John Flynn, years ago at Spearfish Lodge in Spearfish Canyon, SD,. he told us to use the red line on an index lined card at a quide.

I have a 1/4" foot, but this is a great idea for that scant 1/4". Thank you.

On my Singer machines, I've used the post it notes and other paper pads (even think paperback books) and I used blue painter's tape to hold it in place... not broccoli elastic (great idea though). However, with my Janomes I just use my Clothsetter. It is very easy to set the width to whatever seam size I want. And the lip of the Clothsetter extends to the front edge of the machine and is great for thick fabrics, like wool and polar fleece, too.
