Just now tried this tutorial and it works, i had to adjust it a couple of times and measured and it came out to . 5 inches across and 11/2 across center block!!!Yeah. i also love the way you pull the
thread to side when you start to sew.. I am making a quilt with lots of 4 patches made with two inch blocks,the quarter inch seam has to be perfect for all to match. I know this will help, Thank you so much!!!!

Very nicely explained tutorial.
I’m getting ready to piece my first quilt and went to do as you suggested, but my “address labels” had to be placed so far from the needle because of my bobbin case! There is a big gap between the seam guide and the foot.Also I stacked up about 5 labels but my fabric still slips right over that guide as if it were not even there! Also can’t put anything down on my bobbin case because of it’s weird shape. Ugh! My machine is a Brother CS-6000i

I don’t know when I’ve been so excited to learn something new. The hubster presented me with a really nice new sewing machine for Christmas because I like art and dec sewing. I just learned so much from you in this one tutorial. Thank you so much- I’ve been ironing all my life- who knew pressing was something different? Not it my household apparently! Please keep putting these helpful posts up- I might even get something sewn with your help!

Hi Cindi – So I wanted to tell you I have been sewing since I was 10 – 33 years ago. But, I just started quilting and finished my second quilt last month. I wish I had read this two quilts ago! I am having to “unlearn” years of habits – like ironing vs pressing a great tip, and ironing to one side(learned why the hard way)….It will probably take me forever to give up back stiching – Giggle. But most important I will be putting blue painters tape on my machine before I even start cutting quilt 3….THANK YOU!

I love what you are doing. I also teach our new students this same method. I needs to done on any machine a person uses for the first time, as the needle isn’t always in the “center”. Great advise.
