How long did it take you to conquer 1/4" seams?
#21
I would be lost without my 1/4inch foot. But even with it, for me accuracy in cutting is very important, and also accurate pressing is a must for me. I feel that even with the special foot, sewing slowly and focusing is still important to the whole operation. Even when I am very careful with all of the above, shift sometimes happens. I have come to see quilting as a labor of love, and a reminder that nothing is ever perfect, but everything still deserves the love. So I kind of love the little imperfections too.

I didn't come close till my latest machine had the quarter inch foot with it. I just keep fabric in line with edge of foot, sew slower & not bad....but not perfect :)

I have tried several 1/4" feet. Tried stacking the post-its. Tried marking my sewing machine bed.
Sometimes it works. Sometimes I just think it is working until I try to put together the pieces of the block and nothing fits.
Can you tell I am frustrated today?

If you have a quarter inch foot on your machine it should be no problem at all. If you don't then why not make all of your seams the width of the foot that you do have? As long as you are consistent your quilt will all fit together OK.
