Kaye Wood share this morning
I know some of us struggle with the 1/4 inch measurement so I thought this video might help some newbies achieve the perfect 1/4 seam

This is me too. I use the tape but the card reference is genius! Thanks so much for the tip.

In the quilting world my idea may seam " sacreligeous", but I just used a sharpie to draw the line on my machine, so it is there when I need it. I just grab the ruler and re-mark it occasionally as needed. I do make a thick line so I can just let the edges ride along the needle side of the line (I have an aversion to dealing with anything sticky). My machine, my "fix", but it works for me.

I have a Singer, not expensive but it has been a work horse. I use Moleskin as a guide for the quarter inch and it works fine. When I take it off, there is no residue on the machine. I do have to move the needle, however. But it works.
