My walking foot has it's own guide and set up for connecting to the foot. (Bernina)

Wondering if anyone has ever used one of these:

I found it on a sewing/quilting blog. I too have a walking foot that the bar slides around and never stays in place. I don't use the bar too often as it always moves on me. I didn't know if anyone had seen or tried these before. It looks like it might work!!
For those that can't open the link it is a guide that clamps onto the back of your walking foot.
I am not affiliated with the company at all-merely wondering if the thingy might work for those of us who can't get the bar to stay in place!!

I just recently realized I had one and what it was useful for. I had it for about 6 years before I even knew what it was. When echoing it really helps to keep the lines spaced correctly.

I always thought mine would slide around also but then I discovered a large screw that goes into the back. I tighten that and it does not move. See if you have an opening on the back of your walking foot for a screw?

Thank you for posting this, I have one of those. It came with my machine and I had no idea what is was for. I suppose I should read the manual!

I have it, I just haven't used it yet, but seeing your beautiful quilt, I'll have to think about it in the future.

Use it on the Pfaff. I can line up lines of decorative embroidery on a shirt - along with lining up quilting.

I have a Single stitch Brother PQ1500, and there is no place to put one on the walking foot.

There is a guide, but it installs the same way as the walking foot, and you can't use both at the same time. It also doesn't do both sides as the Pfaff does.

Oh I like that. May have to get one of those. Thank you for sharing.

I have it but have never used it for quilting... Thanks for the idea

It is. Only my vintage machines which don't have one. I find it useful for grids square or diagonals especially on bags where you want a closer grid.
