So I have decided to do it. All of my posts in May will feature at least some weird gadget or notion that everyone either has or totally should have. Here's a sneak preview.
My mom sent me home with this when I went to visit for Easter.
Its basic function is showing you how to get the perfect scant 1/4 inch seam on your machine. I mentioned before that I needed to move my needle 2 places to the right to get the seam correct on my machine. Well after using this baby, I learned that it is actually 3 places that I need to move.
More details to come on this nifty contraption along with many others in May!
This is my very favorite gadget as well. I have a new machine - a Husqvarna Viking and I don't think the quarter in foot is that good but this is just perfect as I can move my needle to the exact spot in order to get a perfect scant 1/4" seam allowance. YAY Perkins!

ReplyDeleteI need this gadget!
ReplyDeleteI just bought this gadget. I learned from a Kai Irland DVD that you need to check your seams and make sure they are correct. I have a Babylock machine with two 1/4 inch feet, neither of which are really 1/4 inch. So I then bought a little foot. This one is right on. Thanks for posting such useful information.
ReplyDeleteYou're blowing my mind! I just assumed that the measurements on the machine were correct! :-O
ReplyDeleteHm...interesting!
ReplyDeleteHi Megan, I awarded you with the Liebster Blog Award! Go to my blog and check it out!! Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteI got one of these, and it reassured me that I was using the right places on the feet of both of my machines correctly for piecing! Thanks for the info.
