If you had one, then you could just leave your needle in its "home" position as it were. I find that even with a thinner thread (good suggestion) I need to feed the fabric just a tiny bit less than the 1/4" mark in order to get a perfect 1/4" seam allowance.felicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18175463051620709590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683357838302003571.post-56026497538404889302010-07-22T12:30:57.497-07:002010-07-22T12:30:57.497-07:00I LOVE your blocks!!

I found that using a good quality, but thinner thread helped me when I had issues with by 1/4 inch seam. I use Gutterman's 100% cotton thread, but a lot of people swear by Superior Thread's Masterpiece thread.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15078819135489710059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683357838302003571.post-68106598702012265322010-07-22T05:10:30.452-07:002010-07-22T05:10:30.452-07:00The more you do the bettr you will get.
