Operating Instructions

This 1/4" foot is designed for precise seam allowances. Here’s how to use it effectively:

1. Prepare Fabric: Place your fabric under the presser foot, aligning the raw edge of the fabric with the right edge of the 1/4" foot.
2. Lower Presser Foot: Lower the presser foot lever to hold the fabric in place.
3. Select Stitch: Choose a straight stitch setting on your sewing machine.
4. Begin Sewing: Start sewing, guiding the fabric so that its edge consistently runs along the right edge of the presser foot. This will ensure a precise 1/4-inch seam allowance.
5. Maintain Alignment: Pay close attention to keeping the fabric edge aligned with the foot's edge throughout the entire seam for consistent results.

This foot eliminates the need for marking or measuring 1/4-inch seams, making it ideal for quilting blocks and other projects requiring accuracy.
