Check out homesew.com. They sell a lot of different feet. When I bought bobbins from them, I called and they could tell me if it would fit my machine or not. I'm sure they could do the same with the feet. And they are a lot cheaper than $35.

To measure a 1/4 inch mark use a 3x5 index card. The space between the lines is a scant 1/4". You probably have a card in your recipe box???

you can use tape or sticky notes

When I need to mark the 1/4 inch seam line on my machine I place my tiny 1 1/2 inch square ruler under the presser foot, moving it to the left until the needle is directly above the 1/4 inch mark. Gently lower the needle to sit on the 1/4 inch mark and place several layers of masking tape along the right hand side of the ruler.

Many machines come with a seam guide. Are you sure you don't have one? It is a metal piece with a slot for a thumb screw, and a bend in the other end to but the fabric against. I use it even with the 1/4 inch foot. I don't like having to clean tape residue off my machine.

Glad ur fixed! Painters tape would of worked!! Didn't know about 3x5 card!!

I have a couple of friends that use post-it notes. Several in a single stack, you place the fabric against the post-it's and you know you are right on, if you have placed the strips correctly.

Sew-Classic has a printed motif that you can put on your machine. I ordered 5 of them, one for each machine and I think they were 45 cents each. They work very nicely on my machines.

There is a special "tape" strip you can buy that you can put on and off the machine. Buy it at your LQS. Measure out 1/4 inch from the actual needle and place it down on the base of the machine. I don't bother with the foot anymore even though I have it.
