I have also found that moving the needle one position to the right helps me get an accurate ¼” seam allowance with the #57 foot. My problem is that I don’t always remember to move the needle before I start sewing – talk about frustration! I finally came up with a solution. I cut a teeny piece of blue painter’s tape and stuck it to the guide. That does the trick – my seam allowances are accurate and I don’t have to adjust anything before I start sewing.

BettyD OFFLINE Posts: 61 Thank you received: 2	That's how I do it, too. You can even use the straight stitch plate and move the needle over one position.

FabricWhisperer OFFLINE Posts: 167	With my Bernina 440...to do a scant 1/4 with #57...I move the needle position over one. This is how I was taught in my Bernie class. FW

I just finished posting photos on my blog about that quarter inch foot. The biggest difference I see between the #37 and the #57 is the guide on the edge of the foot, which should aid in keeping things accurate.

I wanted to check your blog to see what you meant (about the foot!) but couldn't find out how to get to it!!!! doh! could only see latest blogs, no where to search for yours!!! Help?

Judymc OFFLINE Posts: 785 Thank you received: 1	I bought a straight stitch plate yesterday and can't wait to try it with my #37 foot. I also bought that new circular embroidery attachment--I'll let you know how I like it. I think there's a Bernina video of this attachment. As you can see, I'm doing more playing with my machine than accomplishing anything!
