On my Babylock, it is one bump to the right on the stitch width. Or if your 1/4" stitch is at say 3.0 then bump to 3.5. One more thing, If you can get the 100% cotton DMC quilting thread. It is great. Strong and you don't need to do the scant 1/4" thing. I have put this thread to the test. What they advertize is true! Give it a shot.

You truly do learn something new every day. I thought "scant 1/4" meant don't be a seam hog. HAHA
I will have to look at all my machines and see if I can move anything that little bit.
Measuring afterwards is a great idea!

Here's how you can check

Once you figure it out, use tape to mark your machine. If you usually use the same weight fabric and thread, it should not change. May need to recheck if you switch to a heavier fabric like thick flannel.
It's really worth the small amount of time it takes to figure out where it is on your machine. Blocks will come together much more easily.
