Why Is It?

I have a tendency to be a little absent minded and sometimes I forget to change to the walking foot when I add my borders to my quilts. And the thing is, I can tell right away by looking at the border that I've forgotten. And get out the seam ripper. Put on the walking foot, sew the border on again and it goes on so nice and flat, when before it just didn't lay flat and had a bit of a ripple look.



So, why is it that when I resew that there is only 1/4" extra border left over when I use the walking foot? Over a 60" edge? Why does that 1/4" make so much difference?
