I think what they are referring to is making the seam allowance a scant 1/4" - or 1 thread less than 1/4".

You can also cut 3 strips of fabric 1" wide maybe 5 or 6 inches long sew them all together press and they should measure 2 1/2" then you will know you have your 1/4" seam allowance correct. Joan

The first video for the 2010 Strip Tezz series shows you what to set a computerized machine at this is on the QIAD home page under the video free section. These videos are great.

Re: "HELP!!"
In the class that I just took - El taught us that it is one thread width less than a quarter inch. This is so after you have pressed the seam over you have a perfect quarter inch seam.
The responses here have given you all the tricks to set it up - press and test your seams -
Good luck
