Help with accurate measuring

[BrendaP]

Hmm. I don't have a measurement guide on the needle plate so I'd still need the sticky tape guide, wouldn't I?

@Catllar   No. because you would measure from the needle to the edge of the guide where the fabric butts against it.  Once set you just make sure the edge of the fabric just touches the guide - with no gaps and no wrinkling.

I've contacted Helen Howes to see if she has anything like that. Thanks  @BrendaP .

She indeed does have one of those, so I'll order it forthwith  or fivewith!  She's an interesting lady, isn't she but she does have some fun stuff!

@Catllar yes Helen Howes has some great stuff for older machines, I have bought some bits and pieces for my 3 old Singer machines from her. Her partner died early last year, and I am glad to see her site becoming active again. I follow her blog.
