Perfect Seams At Last
I've had my Baby Lock Symphony sewing machine for almost a year and a half now and would you believe I'm still learning things about it? My machine came with a quarter-inch foot that had a guide attached to it and I've posted before about how I'm not that fond of it.
While working on my triangle quilt I made a new discovery. Yes, I'm still working on it. I never claimed to be a fast quilter, I just wish I had something new to show you. Anyway, back to my discovery. I tried positioning my needle on the right side while using the right edge of the standard foot as my fabric guide.
Lo and behold, with that simple adjustment I was able to consistently get a quarter-inch seam! I wish I would have figured that out a year ago! It just goes to show that I still have more to learn.

Yay for learning new tricks! I've had my machine for just over a year and I am still not sure that I know what thread she likes best for FMQing. All we can do is just keep sewing and keep learning. :)
ReplyDeleteyou know what they say never too old to learn. I discovered last week that my bernina cord stores inside the machine, there is a button on the back that winds it in, have had the machine for 21 years! If I had not seen someone else do it on theirs at the MQG would still not know about ti
