Patchwork looks best with the corners of all fabric pieces precisely aligned. Hence accurate cutting and piecing is essential. Using a Quarter Inch Presser Foot, as shown in this how-to video, it's a hassle-free affair. It provides an accurate 1/4 inch (approx. 6 mm) seam allowance generally used in patchwork. The markings on the foot are also ideal for precise top stitching, quilting and sewing of narrow seams. Accurate straight cutting is the only thing you need to worry about! When using the Quarter Inch Foot, the needle must always be in its left position to align with the foot’s opening. The round opening only allows straight stitched seams, however, provides extremely beautiful results! It's the specialist for stunning patchwork.
