That is the whole idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe problem this solves.\u003c\/strong\u003e A quarter-inch seam that is a whisker off does not look wrong on one block. It looks wrong after twelve, when the rows will not line up and you cannot tell which seam caused it. Most machines have no marking where you actually need one, and eyeballing the edge of the presser foot is a guess repeated a few hundred times. The ruler sets the allowance once, the magnetic guide holds the fabric to it, and every seam after that is the same width as the first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy these two belong together.\u003c\/strong\u003e Setting a seam guide takes two minutes. Learning to trust it takes a stack of strips. The Morning Mist mini strips are already cut to 2.5\" x 10\", so there is nothing to measure before you start sewing, and 40 of them is enough to run the same seam over and over until your hands stop thinking about it. When you are done practising you have not wasted anything, because strip patchwork is what those pieces were for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne honest note.\u003c\/strong\u003e The magnetic guide grips a steel needle plate. If your machine has an aluminium or plastic bed it will not hold, and you will want the ruler on its own. The mini strips are short 10\" strips, not full width-of-fabric jelly roll strips, and the cotton is on the lightweight side, so it presses easily but is worth keeping in mind where coverage matters. Morning Mist is a set collection, not a choice of colourway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16 needle holes from 1\/8\" to 2\"\u003c\/strong\u003e so that you drop the needle through the hole you want and the allowance is set, with no measuring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFluorescent yellow-green acrylic\u003c\/strong\u003e so that the lines read on dark fabric as well as light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnetic guide with a strong central magnet\u003c\/strong\u003e so that the fabric edge has something to run against instead of your eye.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e45 degree line and 1\/4\" pivot cross\u003c\/strong\u003e so that half-square triangles trim square and corners pivot in the right place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact 5.5\" x 2.5\" body\u003c\/strong\u003e so that it doubles as a ruler for small pieces and stays next to the machine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e40 pre-cut 2.5\" x 10\" cotton strips\u003c\/strong\u003e so that you have something to sew the day it arrives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoordinating Morning Mist prints\u003c\/strong\u003e so that practice blocks are worth keeping rather than binning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreat for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone whose quarter-inch seam is close but not consistent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew quilters setting up a machine for piecing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrip patchwork, four patches, nine patches, mug rugs, table runners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePouches, cushion fronts, and small handmade gifts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you pay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Fabric Hut Seam Guide Ruler + FREE Magnetic Seam Guide, $24.97\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40-Piece Cotton 2.5\" x 10\" Mini Strips, Morning Mist Collection, $13.97\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBought separately: $38.94\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn this bundle: $18.48, \u003cstrong\u003eyou save $20.46\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to set it up\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a precise 1\/4\" seam, place the magnetic guide in front of the presser foot, or move the needle position to the far right.
