New Machine, can't sew a straight line-- help!!?
I just got a new sewing machine and I picked a very simple bag as mu first project but for the love of all that is holy, I can't sew a straight line! Help! Is this a normal problem for beginners? Anything I can do to improve?
I've been sewing for years and still can't get a straight line without my quarter inch foot.
You can go to a sewing machine store or search online for a quarter-inch presser foot that would fit your brand of machine. It has a thin piece of metal or plastic on the right that you can rest your fabric edge against... I love mine!
Here's an example of one:

Good luck, I know it can be very frustrating!
