I have a Janome 6260 that has a default needle position that goes to 3.5 every time the machine is turned on. I finally figured out (after a long frustrating year) that for what ever reason I have to have it on 4.5 to sew a 1/4 inch seam. I hadn't read the manual and had no idea of a default setting. I thought I was the one with a "default" for not being able to sew the 1/4 inch seam!

I have a Janome 6600 and the dealer game me a note reminding me to set mine at 5.4 to get the 1/4 inch and that is what I do. If I feel its not quite scant enough I move it to 5.5.

I use 5.5 or 5.4 with my 1/4 inch walking foot and 3.8-4.0 for my regular 1/4 foot. You can set those as memories in your 1-4 stitch positions.
I have found that when I cut my my Accuquilt Go I have to skinny up my stitch. Seems I cut on the outside of the line when I rotary cut and the Go must go to the in or just a smidgeon inside the line. |
Yeah brothers and babylocks, alot of them are like that where one of the straight stitches gives you the perfect 1/4 inch. On my babylock it is the first stitch that is preset so I often forget to change the stitch on my brother to the correct one and end up hitting the presser foot
