1/4" Quilting Foot with Adjustable Metal Guide Bar for Singer Slant Needle (Slant Shank) Machines

Part Number: P60309

This specialized 1/4" quilting foot is designed for Singer slant needle sewing machines, featuring a hinged metal shank with clear see-through plastic base for enhanced visibility. The adjustable metal guide bar (adjustable up to 3 inches) ensures perfect seam allowances consistently, making it essential for patchwork, quilting, and precise topstitching.

Key Features:

• Hinged metal shank with clear plastic base for excellent visibility
• Adjustable metal guide bar positions up to 3 inches for versatile seam allowances
• Distance from center needle to right edge is exactly 1/4 inch when set for quilting
• Horizontal markings for precise corner pivoting (1/4", 3/8", 1/2")
• Adjustable guide eliminates need for tape guides or constant measuring
• Compatible with Singer slant needle (slant shank) machines

Perfect For:

• Patchwork: Consistent 1/4" seams ensure quilt blocks fit together perfectly
• Quilting: Essential for accurate piecing and assembly
• Topstitching: Create precise, narrow decorative stitching at various widths
• Garment Sewing: Narrow to wide seams on delicate or lightweight fabrics
• Custom Seam Allowances: Adjust guide bar anywhere up to 3 inches for project-specific needs

How It Works:

The P60309 foot features an adjustable metal guide bar that can be positioned anywhere up to 3 inches from the needle, giving you incredible versatility for different seam allowances. For traditional quilting, set the guide bar so the distance from the center needle position to the guide is exactly 1/4 inch. For other projects, adjust the guide bar to your desired seam width. Simply align the raw edge of your fabric against the adjustable metal guide bar as you sew—the guide does the measuring for you. The clear plastic base provides excellent visibility of your stitching area and fabric alignment, while horizontal markings in front of and behind the needle hole serve as stopping points for perfect corner pivoting.

Using the Foot:

1. Set Your Machine: Use straight stitch with needle in center position. Turn handwheel to verify needle clears the foot hole
2. Adjust Guide Bar: Position the metal guide bar for your desired seam allowance (1/4" for quilting, or anywhere up to 3" for other projects)
3. Align Fabric: Place fabric right sides together, position raw edge flush against the metal guide bar
4. Sew: Sew your seam, gently guiding fabric to stay in contact with the guide bar
5. Pivot Corners: Stop when fabric edge aligns with front 1/4" marking, leave needle down, raise foot, pivot fabric, and continue

Versatile Seam Allowances:

While this foot excels at 1/4-inch quilting seams, the adjustable guide bar extends up to 3 inches, making it perfect for wider seam allowances on garments, home décor projects, or any sewing that requires consistent edge-to-stitch measurements. This versatility makes it a valuable addition to your presser foot collection beyond just quilting.

Why 1/4" Seams Matter:

Consistent 1/4-inch seams are essential for patchwork and quilting because even small variations accumulate across multiple seams, causing quilt blocks to misalign. The P60309 foot eliminates this problem by providing a reliable, adjustable guide bar that ensures every seam is exactly 1/4 inch, allowing your quilt blocks to fit together perfectly every time.

Tips for Best Results:

• Always verify needle clears foot before sewing
• Adjust metal guide bar to desired seam allowance before starting (up to 3" range)
• Keep fabric edge in contact with guide bar throughout seam
• Use horizontal markings for accurate corner pivoting
• Clear base provides excellent visibility of stitching line
• Perfect for both narrow quilting seams and wider garment seams
