I have a Husqvarna and the bar that comes with my walking foot doesn't screw in...so it actually shifts a little as you use it..... what machine do you have?

Just like when you get a new car and take it out for a drive - do that, learn the buttons and dials, see what it can do. Even play with the stitches and using a sharpie, mark down what stitch, length and width next to the stitch line and keep it in the drawer as a cheat sheet. Folks are so anxious to jump into making a project, they do not realize how much they will benefit from learning their tool first. AND IT'S FUN!!!

I love that bar. I also bought a foot for my Juki 2010 with Double bars-one for the right- one for the left.

It has made my machine quilting straight lines so much easier. |
Just wanted to put a tip out there for all......I downloaded the manual to my machines to my computer so I have a digital copy and put it in Dropbox. I can access Dropbox on my phone, tablet, and computer. When I am stuck somewhere waiting....doctors office, airport, car servicing,etc. and if I had kids to pick up or wait for, I can read over the manual. Sometimes I see something new (or new because I forgot) and other times it is just a reminder of what my machine can do and how to do it. This is the one way that I read my manual through from front to back.

Nancy's notions has one that you can use every 3 inches.

The bar does work well, but I am also a fan of blue painters tape. It comes in several widths. I can move it several times along my quilt before replacing it. I sew next to it, not through it.

Murphy: That is a great idea to download the manual so you can access it during those down times.
