How To Use A Quarter Inch (1/4) Foot & Quilting Guide Bar 

Game changer video!!!!! Just changed the foot on my machine and Finally can sew the perfect 1/4 for my quilt blocks!!!! Goodbye wonky!Thank you!!!!.

I'm learning so much from your tutorials. The Walking Foot is a time saver for accurate lines and shapes and it's so much fun too. I got mine this morning thanks to you .Mine came in 3 parts, and wondered how to fix the pressure foot to it. I was worried as there were no tutorials on this. I finally managed to fix it. I really appreciate and admire your gift to teach and explain without too much fuss. It's a pleasure to listen to you explaining. Thanks for sharing and caring. xxx

i love my walking foot (with/and without the guide) i taught myself to use it by making a sewing machine mat, and found it to be a breeze! I'd never used it before but watched your video and select other vids which helped ALOT! I have also purchased stuff for my vintage machines from your website...what a lifesaver. I wasn't paid to say this, its the absolute truth, in my case! TFS

I just received a new Brother SQ9185 computerized sewing and quilting machine yesterday as a gift from my husband. I was not sure how to use the quilting bar and your video answered that for me and many more questions I had. Your video is so helpful.

your videos rock. learning sewing by yourself with noone to confer isnt easy....these concise videos really help out

Thank you so much for explaining how to install a seam guide your great Chris from UK😊

Thanks for this video! I’m a newbie and excited to start quilting soon! Found these videos super helpful!! 🤩🤩

Thanks for this excellent presentation with clear instructions Very much appreciated ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you soooo much. I've been trying to put on the foot without just putting the lever down it. I've determined which fingers to use for attaching it and the right angle, it was not easy ........... the whole time all I had to do is put the lever down on it. No other videos show this.

Wow, I’ve never seen that quilting guide before!

Omg. Thank you for this video. That quikting guide piece had me bonkers on how to put it on. Lol

Thank you so much for demonstrating the foots. I just got a sewing plus quilting machine and just learning.

Wow... I have sewn over 10 years and never knew how to do this with my sewing machine. Thank you ...

You just saved me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Do you cut the thread while you are sewing or does it automatically cut it for you? I have a Brother but I would have to snip it with scissors or pull of the entire fabric piece out from under the foot and cut it with the built in cutter. I like your demonstration of using the quilter foot. :-) It made a lot of sense.

I like your video

Thank you! So helpful 🤩😍🌸👍🏻👏🏻!!!

Hm. Well that solves the mystery of what that long piece is in my parts box. . . but I don't seem to have any shanks with a hole in them to insert this guide into. If I ever run across one, I'll know what to do with it now!

Superb and helpful video thanks

Thanks for the fantastic quilting tutorial

Thanx for this helpful video. I wanna know the uses of this foot. Not how to use But Where to use. Plz.reply

Very well done, good tutorial tks

Great tutorial! 😊

Nevermind, I just figured it out. I changed 00 in the display to 01 and that centered the needle nicely over the hole in the foot.

Hi Mary! If you go to our site and type #XC6800251 in the search box, the 1/4 inch foot with guide will pop up right away. For the quilting bar/guide, simply enter #5011-10 in the search box. Sorry the foot wasn't popping up for you. Let me know if I can help with anything else!

Your demonstrations are super! I recently purchased a 32 presser foot set and it has one called JAGUAR that I haven't seen demonstrated or explained. It looks like a large zigzag foot that has markings of 1/8" at center and each side of center. Also has markings for 1/4" behind and in front of needle on left fork of foot. And there is a slit opening at the right side of the zigzag needle area. There is a separation between the wide zigzag opening and the front of the foot and each arm of the foot is encased in clear acrylic that curves slightly upward at the front end. There is also a small rectangular opening in the center of this acrylic. Hopefully you know what I am talking about and may be able to offer me some helpful tips to use this great looking foot!

Your videos are great and so informative! Thanks so much!

That was extremely helpful, thank you so much, God bless

🌸🌷💕 I’m looking for a foot that looks like a tiny black tire! (Like on a car!).🚙. (a tiny, black, rubber, wheel). 😝 yass! It’s very unusual…..but it’s used for sewing special fabric…. I think like perhaps vinyl? A girlfriend has one but I’ve never been able to find one! If YOU don’t have one……I’ll be so bummed. ☹️. But hey!!…..At least you look awfully cute 🥰 here sewing…right??! 😉. 🤞but seriously..I hope you have one☝️

Your video help a lot thanks a lot.

Hi, great video. I'm learning to use the Brother CSI 6000i. I don't really like where the 1/4 marking is located on the needle plate, and that is what I use to guide my stitch widths. There is the 1/4 inch marking at the top of plate, but it means that it isn't available beside the material when you are ready to sew, so you can't check if you're on the 1/4 inch line, or not, while sewing. I see there are inch markings on your needle plate, but I can't see where it is located exactly. There are no RU-vid videos I can find about throat plate markings, for any sewing machines! It shouldn't be necessary to buy extra parts. Please advise. Thanks, Ellen

Great video, but you have some bottom tension issues at 4:20

just got the designio Dz2750 from amazon which came with the 1/4" foot without a seam guide. Don't know who measured this when they made the foot, but it doesn't actually sew a 1/4" !! First of all, if you have this machine, be sure to select stitch #01 which centers the needle over the opening in this foot - DO NOT use the default #00. Doing that and lining up the fabric to the outside right edge of the foot gives you a seam allowance of 5/16" not 4/16" and not close the the "scant" 1/4 that many patterns suggest. I tried all kinds of tricks - which of course I could have easily done with ANY of the feet.....so this kinda sucks for me, as I was hoping for a clear cut - consistent 1/4" foot -- Here is what works for me: Set your stitch selector to 01, use the 1/4" foot (which I already mentioned above really ISN'T), use the outside of the right "toe" and set your stitch width to 3.0 which bumps the needle over slightly. Make sure your needle isn't bent or this bump-over may cause it to hit the foot. I don't know if all feet are made this way or not...this foot has a letter "x" on it.

Very helpful but is it necessary to use the walking foot with the quilting bar or is the quilting bar sufficient? I'm quilting baby burp cloths.

Hi! What is the model number of your singer? I can give you a list of all the accessories compatible with your machine. Thank you!

I just received this foot with the guide and I just snapped it on. I don't believe I need to do any adjustments correct? I am asking because the foot is not producing a 1/4" seam but rather a 3/8" seam can you please advise? If you prefer, I can contact customer service. Thank you Tracey

Can you use this with other feet if you wanted to quilt with decorative stitches?

Tysm for your video. I have a brother xr1300. Looks like your machine. My question is what setting on your sewing machine do u use. Do u just use J. Or a different letter. And for the stitch width and stitch size what do u use. This is all with using the 1/4 pressure foot. I'm using the one with the guide

great information !!

How do you install the SA538 Screw Down Metal Seam Edge Guide? Thank you.

A Singer 7256?

I went to your website to check on feet for my Brother Pq1500sl.. I was looking for the quarter inch foot WITH GUIDE. Did not see it.

Hi, I love the video, thanks! I know this a is a old video but I am hoping you will still see my question. Or maybe someone else will and can help me? I was wondering what stitch length you are using? I like the look of it. And when I was practicing my lines on a practice quilt I didn't like how small my stitches were.And I have a computerized sewing machine and they recommend having it on auto so that is what I was using. If I was to change it manually I am not sure what stitch length to go with. Thanks!

I have a Brothers SQ 185 and can' get the quilting foot to line up with the needle. the book say to use the J foot What do I do ? Also the setting will not let me use a straight stitch.

On an SE400 where does the Quilting Bar go when using the 1/4 inch foot.Thanks

what number on your machine do you put it on for the quarter inch foot please Thankyou in advance x

Just wondering. Can I use that guide for any stitching? I have trouble keeping the stitches straight. I am a newbie big time.

What are all the marks on the feet and how do they work for measuring. What about the 1/8 inch side of the foot?

great to know

I need them for my Brothre 950D, I didn't see them on the page, could you help me?

Does this work with a Pfaff sewing machine?

Is this a true 1/4 inch? If so, what do you do to get the scant 1/4"?

Could you explain what the little lines on the left side of the quarter inch foot are for? I have an idea that they are for knowing when to stop but I am not completely sure.

Would this work for doing acurate seam allowances. The markings are hard to see when sewing and i thought this might work to mark an accurate seam allowance?

Is this for a janome machine. I don't have those feet for mine.

What position is your needle in? Right, middle or left. It looks like middle but not quite sure.

Lower the feed dog using these foot?

QUESTION?? My quilter's guide attaches to my Walking Foot, but I notice that when lining the fabric up to meet my presser foot/needle that the quilter's guide because of its attachment to the back of the presser foot, doesn't even touch the fabric because it is about 2 inches behind the presser foot. How do I overcome that issue?

Hi! What model is the sewing machine you use? :)

My Brother CS6000I has the needle default on the left. When I install the 1/4" quilt presser foot I need to move the needle to center or right so it doesn't hit the foot (I already hit the foot once by mistake). How do I do that? The book doesn't explain how. Thank you.

Hi Sarah, I have a new Laura Ashley CX155LA, and was wondering if there is place to put the walking foot quilting guide, to use with the 1/4 in piecing foot. I also have a CS6000i and was wondering the same thing. I don't seem to find the hole for the guide on the Laura Ashley. My machines have on the snap on attachments by default.

Ive got a walking foot quilting bar

Sell ​​on Amazon? My machine is Singer. I'm interested in accessories for patchwork and quilt.

May I ask what is cutting your thread after each cut?

What is that Sewing Machine Model?, i like that auto cut thing...

Can I get the quilting bar by itself? I have a walking foot but came without the quilting bar. Thanks

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️

I cannot find where this wonderful tool goes. So frustrated. Manual is no help Using a juki

The Brother sewing machine I am looking at use snap on presser feet. Now the 1/4 quilting foot is available as a snap on foot, but the walking foot is not, so it looks like quilt piecing is possible on a Brother snap on foot sewing machine, but to put together a complete quilt, one would want the Brother sewing machine that uses a walking foot, as well as the 1/4 quilting foot.

I have a basic Brother machine....

What's the width of the little bar on the left?

need to get a better look at these feet like a solid 4sec at least on your tutorial's

I'm trying to use my quilting guide without my walking foot, and the quilting guide doesn't go in my shank.(it doesn't even go in my walking foot!)

How much crouching foot forjanome

I need a quilting bar

At first you said to judge using the front of the quarter inch foot and then you said use the side of the foot and they are completely different sizes. Which is it!

What # do I set my machine on for the 1/4 in. quilting foot?

I am sewing with kwiksew patterns and they have a s/a of 1/4" so was looking for a foot that would allow me to sew a 1/4 " seam on either side...........I can't always line up with an edge (shirt front placket). suggestions?

no entiendo como se te corta el hilo solo??!!! jaajajaj yo soy un desastre!!!

what letter is on the quarter piece foot

Δυστυχώς όσοι γνωρίζουμε μόνον Ελληνικά δεν μπορούμε να παρακολουθήσουμε το τόσο ενδιαφέρον σεμινάριο. Κρίμα. Να υπήρχαν τουλάχισον Ελληνικοί υπότιτλοι!!!!!!!

singer computer... Sin-72

When teaching if you point to something, you should make sure the camera is looking directly at it so we can clearly see what you are pointing at. When the camera is at an angle off to the side it is unclear where your finger is pointing on something small like a presser foot. I'm speaking about the foot without the guide... no idea which part of the foot your fabric was lined up to because of the camera angle.
