Do you have this little tool for your sewing machine? I have a Pfaff machine and this is called edge/quilting guide. It's great for quilting big grids and echoing any design. Plus, you don't need a washable marker.
My lines are spaced at about 1'', in between lines I will add feathers.

i have it and have used it on a few of my machines. on one in particular, i can't get the screw to hold it tight enough. so i have to use another machine

I never did know what the extra screw was for on my presser foot. Duh!!! I feel so silly!! I thought you could only use that little bar with a quilting foot. Thank you both for the tip!!!!

I have that handy little tool for lines of quilting, I don't often use it though. Your design is looking great!

Yes, I have this tool for Husqvarna Viking H/Class 500E but can't get it to stay on.

I have one but have never been able to figure out how to get it to work with my walking foot. Guess i will have to look at it again.

I have it for my husqvarna's also, but there's just a little clamp at the back of the walking foot that it slides into and no screw to tighten it so it does move sometimes, not really a help on it.

Love your work, thanks for the photos.

Mine would never stay put.

I have no problem with mine and it can be used with any foot.

Same here...any foot and either side.

The guide can also be used to piece perfectly parallel seams in a strip set (say that five times fast!) because you're sewing the seam-to-seam measurement, not the seam allowance measurement. It's also an ideal technique for adding those narrow stop borders between the center of a quilt and a wider outer border.

With the back side of your 'done' strips facing up, add the new strip (front side up) underneath the right edge and run the left guide along the last seam you stitched. (If you use the left edge of a presser foot as a guide and run it along that last seam, you can add strips as narrow as 1/8" with extreme accuracy.)
