Thanks for your great tips, and to remind us that quilt, is about fun too. Clever and lovely lady. I am just about to finish patchwork on a tote bag, can't wait to have it ready to use😊❤

Wonderful!

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you so much

Great video and close up. I also use my magnet seam attachment. My machine is old no digital to interfere . I have also used Karen Brown’s painters tape hack. My problem with that is where my bobbin is.

[@margaretderen2082]

I keep 1/4” graph paper to periodically check my 1/4” seam (magnetic) guide. It’s more convenient than always having to draw a line on test strip.

[@sandyheller5438]

Great idea. Thank you.

[@wandawalker4191]

[@quiltybee]

[@katehenry2718]

[@linvallier2269]

I have index cards in my kit that I use, the lines are precisely 1/4” apart.

It's always good to "get good"!!!

[@SewWhittle]

Great idea! My question is why do so many put that piece of fabric under the needle when done sewing? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@fransak2723]

It is t,o prevent the machine from sucking in the fabric which happens a lot especially when sewing half square triangles. It also prevents birds nests on the bottom as you begin the seam. And some people say it saves on thread. I use leaders and Enders and then I come out with extra blocks for another project.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Yes to everything @fransak2723 said to you. I don't like to use "leader/enders" in videos because I don't want to confuse the viewer. But the fabric pieces (I call them "thread savors") help the machine sew happier and keeps the thread and fabric from being pulled under (into the bobbin area) by the machine.

[@kimigr7400]

New quilter here, I can’t understand why 1/4” isn’t marked on the sewing machines like the other measurements?

[@jackielundstrom647]

Thanks. How about a scant 1/4 seam?

[@merrymabelmarket]

Same principle. Just decide what size you want and figure it out on the foot you are using and then be consistent with yourself.
