The bar guide thingy for walking foot help me

Your machine user guide should have a photo of how to attach the quilting bar. It goes in a small hole behind the needle and you tighten the screw down to hold it however far away from the needle you want. Good luck. If all else fails... ask you local quilt shop to help you.

I think this is what mine is. It is a slot. I did try it in the slot but it would never stay. I can get it in there. Seems like it will stay, then undone it comes. :) Thought I was doing something wrong. Oh well guess I'll go back to the "eyeball it" trick. I am pretty good at that.
Any ideas to get it to stay (short of epoxy glue) would be GrrrreAt.
My husband just asked me what I wanted to do this weekend. I told him we should go buy me something! Too bad its slow time of year, I'd head right to the Janome dealer and get me a machine with a built in thingy holder fabric pusher ma jig! I am saving for April trip though. *squeal*
THANKS TO EVERYONE!!! I really appreciate it

You use it to measure distance between quilting lines. You sew one row of quilting, then attach the bar thing. Run the bar thing over the first line of quilting and your new line of quilting will be exactly the distance you want from the first line. Then run the bar over the second line while sewing the third, etc. It will just keep your quilting lines equal distance apart. Hope that makes sense.
