It isn't always the 1/4 inche foot either, it can be the way the diff. machines feed the fabric different. I learned the hard way this Christmas and had to take out a lot of stitching because of changing machines. I knew better too, but was in a hurry. Never get in a hurry, goofs me up everytime.

I calibrate my feet to make sure they are 1/4 inch. There are always slight differences between the way a machine feeds, etc. And not all rulers are created equal so you should stick with either the same ruler start to finish or the same brand. I also find prewashing fabric and pressing my seams is as important as everything else.
