Use the right edge of the presser foot as a guide
for a 1/4" seam. There are markings on the foot
which serve as 1/4" and 1/8" pivot points, both in
front and behind the needle.
Place 2 fabrics, right sides together, under the
Quarter-inch foot. Lower the presser foot, then
sew, keeping the fabric edges lined up evenly with
the right edge of the presser foot. To pivot, when
the edge of the fabric reaches the foot's 1/4"
turning mark (the first marking toward the front of
the foot), leave the needle down in the fabric,
pivot the fabric and continue sewing the next 1/4"
seam.

Patchwork stitching
You can duplicate the look of a hand quilted stitch
by using monofilament thread in the needle, 50 to
60 weight cotton thread in the bobbin, and
increasing the needle tension. The needle tension
and stitch length will need to be determined based
on the thickness of the fabrics and batting.

Note:
Monofilament thread may be
substituted with a thread that matches or
blends with the color of the top fabric.
