On a tutorial Jenny had some kind of 1/4" tape on her sewing machine making it easier to maintain the 1/4". Do you remember this? Thanks. Gina

The M* store has other ones too.🌺 LorieComment

I believe there is one by Quilt In A Day. I don't know if M carries it. It's a plastic that tapes down to your machineComment

The cheap way is to find the quarter inch from the needle and putting painter's tape down so your fabric butts against the left side of the tape. When I first started quilting it's what I did.Comment

M* sells the diagonal seam tape (currently out of stock). Amazon.com has it too.*~* Myrna *~*

Bee in my Bonnet has a seam guide that is placed directly on the bed of your machine. Fat quarter shop sells it. I have been thinking of getting one since it would be so helpful with sewing diagonal for binding or corner flips..HST's without having to draw a pencil line. I use painters tape now. They come in different colors, too.

Painters tape is a great hack for many things......best of all, it is inexpensive and doesn't damage your machine's finish. I use the hack from this video to create a "block/lock" type ruler works like a dream and didn't cost $$$$$. She calls it masking tape (evidently a Canadian thing - don't use masking tape as we know it in the USA). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MIZVeB00Jk“Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.” ― John Muir

Gina, I believe this one that Jeanette posted is the one. I remember Jenny referring to the tape in a tutorial and it looked like this tape. I am currently using painters tape but I think I might get some of this.Originally posted by CraftyJnet View Post
