Using 1/4ý Seam Foot

1	Stitch selector:	7
2	Stitch width:	6.5
3	Stitch length:	Red zone
4	Needle thread tension:	3 to 5
5	Presser foot:	1/4ý seam foot

NOTES:

When using the 1/4ý seam foot, make sure to use the center needle position, otherwise the needle may strike the presser foot and possibly break.

Use a #11 blue stretch needle, which effectively prevents skipped stitching.

Using the black bar as a guide, straight stitch fabric pieces together. Use for keeping layers of fabric feeding evenly. This foot is a must for sewing lightweight fabrics, matching plaids, stripes and quilting.
