This is specifically for Elizabeth who asked how I set my Pfaff to sew a 1/4" seam.
With a clear ruler under the presser foot I measure 1/4" from the edge of whatever presser foot I am using to where I want the needle to be.
Then I move the needle position with the dial on the right to line the needle up with the 1/4" line on the ruler. I usually make a mark on the dial to indicate that position in case I knock the dial off kilter. I need a good light to the right of the needle to keep on the edge. I have also used a piece of masking tape from the edge of the presser foot to keep the fabric in line before it reaches the needle. Since I haven't been piecing for several years it will take some practice to keep things in alignment. Practice makes things work better and maybe, eventually, perfect!.
