Getting a 1/4 seam allowance on newer machines

Adjust your needle position to where you think the needle is 1/4 inch away from the edge of your presser foot. Now measure it to make sure. Use the edge of the presser foot as your guide.
If you need a reminder like me put one on your machine somewhere.
If you forget you'll be doing what I did...picking out your stitches.
