1/4" quilting foot, originally uploaded by Ansis68.
I haven't used it yet but I'm really very excited and wishing I'd come across the mention of this accessory in my sewing machine manual before I started Amy's quilt. It was a happy co-incidence that Spotlight was having a 20% off all sewing machine feet sale in which I planned to get a walking foot (and did) so I got out the manual to look up part numbers (pointless, they're different now anyways) and discovered that such a thing existed. I think it's what they call a Eureka! moment.
The really brilliant thing about it is that it has these lines front and back (marked with red arrows) that show you where to start and stop sewing to leave 1/4" unsewn at either end if you need to attach more blocks. I don't need it for this quilt, but it would be so handy to have for other projects.
Wow I had always wondered what the horizontal marks on sewing machine feet were cool!!!
ReplyDeleteI just found one of those feet for my machine too! Yay! Can't wait till it arrives.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great invention and so blindingly simple too - as most useful things are. None of my other feet have markings like that which now annoys me! I was going to drop you a line Natasha and let you know about it since you'd mentioned having the same issues - glad you're on to it already. :)
