Needle Positions
My sewing machine needle adjustment is an 1/8" Off. It does not matter how many times I try to set the needle, even the marking of the needle position, wheel, shows it is not dead on. I quilt and deal with 1/4" all the time and it presents an issue constantly. I have the 1/4" foot on the machine. It is extremely hard keeping the material riding Inside that marker and be accurate. Any suggestions?
