Thank you for sharing this information. I thought I was the only person in the world who couldn't sew a 1/4" seam.

FYI, the lines on a 3X5 card are exactly 1/4” apart. I carry extra cards for students. Put your needle in a line, line up with edge of foot , lower foot and check the setting.

Your instructions are complete, accurate, and clear. This makes you easier to listen to verses other presenters. Thank you !

You have no idea how your thoughtful way of showing us how to master the dreaded 1/4" seam allowance. I believe all of your viewers are enamored to your specific way of tutoring all the ways to make our quilting easier.🇨🇦

Just found you. WOW finally a You Tuber that doesn't talk at lightning speed. Great video

My late auntie was a tailor, as were her parents, and one thing my mom & I picked up from them is that they were very selective about what measuring tools they introduced to their workspace and each single one of them needed to be tested for consistency with the others. They had one 'benchmark' measuring tape for reference. It has not occurred to me to test my sewing machine plate. Thank you for this video. All the best!

At last I have found a quilter that explains tips in detail, excellent teaching 😀 I have subscribed to your wonderful channel, thank you so much 😀

Thank you for your clear explanation. I love that you show close-ups of what you are doing so I can really follow what you are describing!

Been sewing a long long time and it feels like you've supplied me with the hope of finally mastering a 1/4 inch seam consistently.

I love how you explain things so clearly! I’m new at quilting so thank you for this!!

I am so glad I found your video's. BEST teacher ever!! Thank you!

I love this video. Something that feels so hard, you have made it "sew" easy to make adjustments and make sure you are at a 1/4"🥰

Totally appreciate your taking the time at a very patient-rate. I will definite re-attempt this…even after 40+ years of ma chine piecing! Thanks sew much! 🎉

Just found you and subscribed because you are so thorough in explaining. Keep the videos coming!

Great tutorial!!! Wish there was a way for every quilt maker who is new or struggles would see this. Thank you for posting.

You're a great teacher! Can't wait to see more videos!! My dad taught me the importance of 1/4" seam before he passed and I poopoohed it. I wish I had paid a bit more attention. You've inspired me to perfect the 1/4" seam. 😊

Just found your site. I am new at sewing. I have been watching many videos. You are a wonderful teacher, one of the best I have seen. Keep up the good work. From a retired teacher!

Thank you for a vey well explained and thorough demonstration. Your camera views are excellent. Your voice is perfect for the verbal explanation and you know how to zoom in with camera for details that need to be seen. WELL DONE!!!

I am so glad I found you and your site. I've never measured my blocks before like you instructed. Having your information I feel more confident in my sewing. I am so happy and thankful to have found your site. Please keep the information coming.

Found your You Tube, I have never quilted before so I am going to do this. It looks like a quite time. ☺

Thanks from a new quilter

I am so glad that you explained how to achieve the proper 1/4” seam. Thank you!,

Just found your video and I want to thank you for explaining the quarter inch seams. I'm new to quilting and this was so helpful. Your explanations were clear and understandable. I also appreciated the use of different tools. I will be binge watching your videos for more helpful tips.

Thank you very much! well explained and demonstrated! Thanks also for speaking slowly and clearly.

If you have a Pfaff you can also get a 1/4 seam foot. The foot has small bar on the side that guides the fabric like similar to the way the magnetic seam guide works.

Thank you for taking time to make your videos! I love the way you teach

Thanks for your useful instructions on 1/4 inch allowance. I learnt a lot from it.

Cutting is most important! It’s the beginning of a successful quilt or any block. Thank you

Enjoying the replay ❤I subscribed today ❤

Wonderful explanation on how to get quarter inch seams. Very thorough indeed. Thank you for the different tips given.

cleared up a lot of issues for me, I struggle with the quarter inch seam. I am a visual learner and this video helped me a lot. thank you from the bottom of my well used seam ripper.

Thank you for making this video. Although I’ve been sewing on the same machine for a long time, I recently received a very old Bernina, which did not have a quarter inch foot. Your video really helped me zero in on where my needle and my presser foot need to be. Thank you so much for making the video.

I am a relatively new quilter. This was very helpful.

Great video. The information and screen shots demonstrate the information quite well. I have been sewing for most of my life and quilting about half. This is the best tutorial I have seen with products to assist quilters with quarter inch and scant quarter inch seams.

Think it was great explained beautiful ,now rushing just did a beautiful job I’m over the moon

Thank you, this morning I did several things to try and get the 1/4 in seam. You are right it can be a struggle. Next time I will try your idea's. I already feel more confident. Thanks so much.

I am a beginner Quilter and I totally loved your video. I did not realize how important it was to make sure all the blocks matched and why. I definitely will look for you other video. It was a pleasure listening to your voice.

That tshirt is so pretty on you. I am one of the people who have trouble with quarter inch seams. Thank you very much this video.

Extremely happy I found this video. Keep the videos coming.😊

I am new to sewing and quilting. This is an excellent video on the 1/4" seam allowance. Simple and to the point.

Thank you for these videos. I’m just learning and bought a new machine.

Thank You I have the problem of verging of toward the end of block so this video has definitely helped a lot

Thank you for demonstrating how to attach the Diagonal Seam Tape - that is very helpful.

Thank you so much for showing me this! I know how important seam allowance is (I have made a few projects where this has unfortunately been an issue😢) and mine is getting better the more I sew, but the tips you shared (some of which I knew) will help me not only improve my allowances, but be able to check them after I have completed a few! Thank you again!

Great video! So helpful to a newbie! Thank you

Thank you for your technique. I am buying a seam guide.

I agree that making 1/4 inch seams is so important. I also think finger pressing afterwards helps.

Thank you so much. I am brand new to quilting and I am working on my 2nd quilt. That 1/4” is a killer. Gonna keep practicing. Thank you again 😊

There's a needle gauge that has holes in it to set the perfect seam you need for a project from 1/8" to 1.5". One is called "Ideal needle gauge", and even has a scant 1/4", the other is by Dritz and I'm sure there is more. There's a hole in the template plastic that you can put your unthreaded needle into and then mark the edge however you prefer. Makes lining up the proper edge super simple. I lay about 6-7 layers of painters tape cut off a 1" roll. When it doesn't stick great anymore I just score the corner with a pin, remove the bottom piece of tape and it's brand new again. When I'm not using it, I stick it to my machine someplace. Never leaves a residue and is always handy. I've even used a fine marker so I know where to put the painters tape or to use without the painters tape, depending on the job. The marker comes off with rubbing alcohol. Works for me

I finally know how measure exactly the 1/4 seam and blocks. I was never sure with a ruler if the marks went exactly on the seam line or on the fabric edge, or just off. Now I KNOW to use the seams and fabric edge in your measurement.

Thank you so much I’ve learned a lot from you. ❤

Oh my gosh! You are the teacher I have needed. Thank you thank you. Susan Habeler

Very helpful. I'm new to quilting and was not aware of how important it is.

Want to get into quilting cutting had me off but after watching you i am feeling more enthusiastic you are clear too thankyou

Just found you.🌞! Thank you for the detailed and simple teaching. Will look up your other videos

Thank you very much. 1/4" seam is hard for me, so I will be practicing with your suggestions. You are a good teacher.

Isn't there a foot that measures 1/4" also? LOVE your videos, so very helpful for me, learning so much!! ❤

Thanks so much for this well explained video. This is the problem that I have is that my machine does not have a true 1/4 inch seam. So now I know how to adjust my seam. Thank you. You’re a terrific teacher.

I'm so glad I found your video's this was so help helpful. Now I know how to check forms 1/4 inch seam.

Thank you for all the hard work you put into this video Great Job.

Thank you, I've been struggling with this!

This video was so helpful!! Thank you!

New subscriber here. Just found this video and really appreciate your teaching style. Looking forward to more videos!

I have quilted for many years but this is the 1st answer to the 1/4 inch mystery. I am a Juki owner and use the magnetic feature but now I know how to use that feature to get that illusive seam allowance. Thanks so much for explaining it so clearly!

Great suggestions. I ordered a magnet seam guide. Thank you.

I'm almost seventy and have a new interest in machine quilting. I do find it tricky to keep my fabric right at the right spot to achieve that 1/4-inch, even though I have a quarter-inch foot. I will definitely try the tricks you have shared here. New subscriber--Thank you!

That magnet thing is awesome!

I really like your accuracy and it helps me to really check my work! Thank you!

Your a great teacher! Good job. I always learn from you. Thank you.

Thank you for this video it is a great help Venetia

NEW to this channel👍🏽🤗I’m not a quilter YET😊 however this was extremely helpful for sewing I have the magnet and I haven’t been confident in using it not for sure I will be THANKS

Thank you and hope to se more of your videos.

Great video! One thing I consider when I'm learning something is that when someone shows me the correct way - that's super great. However, I would like to see how you determine the wrong way and what you do about it. You could probably very easily (purposely) sew the seam incorrectly without anyone noticing. Then you would show us what the incorrect result looks like, the cause and how you fix it. Perfection is great but it is imperfection that I can sometimes learn best from. Thanks!

Thank you, be blessed.
