Questions & Answers
Katharine, I have a baby lock, and it serves me well.
You could, but it would be more difficult. For precision quilting, I use a standard 1/4 inch foot. This is ideal for my quick projects where a few thread differences are insignificant.
It says it fits all low shank sewing machines in the description, and I just bought it for my Elna and it works great, so hopefully it will work with yours as well.
This describes my singer as well as a Viking. It should be universal in order to fit the majority of machines.

I was hesitant to buy this foot because several customers had complained about it sewing incorrectly. I did have to adjust my needle by two millimeters, but that was nothing out of the ordinary. After I centered the needle, I used this foot to sew a precise 1/4" seam (see photo). Just a heads up: all other 1/4" feet have similar "inaccurate" reviews. It has to be a problem with needle placement. This was the perfect match for my Brother SE 1900.
I love this foot because I haven't been able to sew in a long time and this pressure foot makes sewing a little easier for me. I can honestly say that blessings come in the tiniest of unexpected places. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas season.
It's not even close to being a quarter inch. It makes a huge difference in accuracy, as any quilter will tell you. I'll try to manipulate it so that it's accurate, but that wasn't the point of buying it in the first place.
If you're a quilter, you'll need a 1/4" foot to do your piecing. Because the metal guide on the right (which runs along the outside edge of the fabric) becomes slightly splayed over time, you no longer have an exact 1/4 inch measurement from the edge of the fabric to your stitching, I needed to replace my previous foot. This foot was splayed out when it arrived. I don't see why I should return it because it seems absurd to take up cargo space for something so cheap and small. Regardless, I won't be able to make use of it. I don't see the point in exchanging it because the outside guide appears to be too thin to stay straight for any length of time, which is disappointing because I bought it after reading a review on a quilter's blog. I was unable to make it work.
" I was really looking forward to receiving this, but it's not a quarter. I've tried it several times and it's impossible to get 1/4" every time. It's such a pity.
It claims to be a 1/4" foot, but it's closer to 3/8" in size. My quilt pieces' measurements were thrown off as a result. Every quilter understands the importance of a precise 1/4".
seam of one inch Perhaps I would have had more success if I had thought to move my needle to the right. Because it moves outward against the fabric's momentum, the edge guide is virtually useless. I just tried it on another foot, this time without the guide, and it works perfectly. I am dissatisfied with both myself and the foot.
This was only a hair off, resulting in a needle breakage. It would have worked fine if the hole had been an oval, but the circle was just off enough that I was concerned it wouldn't. Regardless, I gave it a shot and broke a needle in the process. If there were multiple layers, it didn't move freely enough to glide over the fabric smoothly. I'm disappointed because I had hoped to begin quilting, but I'll have to keep looking for a 1/4" foot.
