I even bought one with a guide and it's also makes too large a seam, and that was for my old Bernina Activa 130. Useless foot - don't even know where it is.

Oh well, there will be another Friday next week! I agree that you should contact Bernina and tell them your 1/4" foot problem and ask them to take the 1st one as a trade against the price of the new one. They surely want good customer relations and positive advertising.. I have 2 different Bernina's and they both take different non-interchangeable feet, so I really do know how you feel. I now mark the bed of all my machines for my 1/4" and don't worry about which foot I use. In fact, I like to use my walking foot when possible since I think it makes piecing blocks more accurate with that foot. Your 2 part leaf looks real good..

As for Bernina, I think you should write to them and ask for some kind of trade-in value on the older foot. What have you got to lose? So glad you learned what I was taught as the "6 minute circle" back in the day. It really makes so many projects easier to do, and you can become very creative inserting all kinds of shapes into whatever you like.

Oh well, it seems you were able to enjoy it enough for both of us *big smile!* I love your idea of using what you learned earlier for these leaves - it seems to be working well and looks great. And I know what you mean about the 1/4" foot - I've stopped using the feet as a gauge anymore on any of my machines. I sew on an older Bernina, a Janome, and a Singer featherweight - none of their 1/4" feet measure up! And who can afford Bernina feet?????Teresa in Music Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15650995129191593324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-14476904017192022812015-08-21T15:28:00.698-07:002015-08-21T15:28:00.698-07:00Was the first foot supposed to be a 1/4" foot...Was the first foot supposed to be a 1/4" foot?

I'll bet the rest will be much easier now!<br />I think I would contact Bernina about trading the 37D for the 97D. If the 37D was marketed as a quarter-inch foot, but doesn't achieve that, they should make it right. Sheesh. <br />Good luck with all those Poisonous Wolf Peaches! And have fun in Salem too. :)<br />quiltzyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08847188443140845514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-89370604563361763512015-08-21T10:58:35.035-07:002015-08-21T10:58:35.035-07:00Learning curves and trials.

I sometimes think that way. Glad you found that doing it the book way was just as good. Those tomatoes sound yummy for all you have planned. I used to can things but decided that I didn't have the time or energy to continue doing it, so stopped. I did jelly and jam also but always ended up with way more than we could eat in a year and gave lots away. I'd rather spend my time quilting and sewing, that gives me peace. Have fun with your tomatoes this weekend. I'm off to start a new baby quilt for a friend that is due in December.<br />Sher S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08702116395166557627noreply@blogger.com
