Thank you, thank you for searching for these and posting pics. I don't have either of these so I will have to buy one. For now I will use the tape for seam allowance.
One more question, which stitch length are you using for piecing?? |
Thanks so much, I greatly appreciate all you help.

Hmmm, never measured before and I may program a stictch length of 12 inches for piecing. But I have never had a problem with the seams at the 2.5 setting. For paper piecing I set the stitch length at 1.8 which translates to 13-14 stictches an inch. Some people use a 1.5 setting which is 18 stitches an inch. Since I had never measured (boy those stitches are small!) before I am going to put the info on the dry erase board that came with my Elna and also put the info in my Quilting Notes binder.

for stitch length you move the lever up or down and tighten the knob screw thingy

thanks for this info. I just got a featherweight 221 for Christmas and was wondering about the 1/4 in foot. where can you order one from? Thanks for the stitch length info. I have an ELNA SU thats over 30 years old and I cant get use to my little 221. It sure is pretty though
