I've been working on the
Anita's Arrowhead blocks and at one point you have to stop and pivot around a corner at the 1/4" mark. I'm pretty good at eyeballing a 1/4", but for these blocks I've been marking them...just to be sure. As I was sewing along, I noticed that when I stopped to pivot there was a raised mark on the left side of my foot that lined up with the edge of the fabric. WHAT? Seriously? All this time I thought this quarter inch foot was just to get an accurate 1/4" seam, but had NO CLUE that there are 1/4" registration marks along the other edge of the foot! Perfect for these blocks, mitering bindings and probably a bunch of other things that I can't think of right now. Who knew? And why didn't you tell me???

I wonder if my foot has that? I'll have to go and look! :0)
I remember my amazement when I discovered mine too. Isn't it a great idea?
That's too funny! I was happy to discover that my walking foot had one of these but now I need to check and see if my piecing foot also has one.
I'm going to go see if mine has that too! thanks for the heads up.
LOL love those little light bulb moments!
:-}pokey
I didn't know that, but I don't have a 1/4" foot either. That's awesome!
Love those "AHA experiences"... LOL!
I didn't know that either...what a wonderful tip!
