I have a Baby Lock and the same issue. Rubber band to the rescue!!
|
I have used the rubber band on my Janome 7700.

It just doesn't make sense to me that so many machines/walking feet do not hold the guide bar tight. Both my Viking and my Bernina are made to accept (and tighten) a guide bar with or without their walking feet. Are the newer machines made with so many bells and whistles that they forgot to include the common sense basics? :confused:

put tape on the end where you want. If it moves you can then just slide into place easily.
|
I have had the same problem with 3 different ones. 2 for the Brothers I used to have & 1 on a Singer. None of them held tight. The overall deign was a good thought but not enough planning on the making of it. I just either mark them with my Frixions or use the painters tape. Both work well with no hassles.

I just discovered this handy little tool too, LOVE it! No marks on the quilt, yay!!!

I have same problem with the Bernina walking foot so I just mark my lines using painter's tape or using a Clover Hera marker:

I don't know about the Janome walking foot, but the Bernina one I have definitely has a set screw on the back that snugs the bar in place. Check the back of your mechanism to see if there's a screw or a place for one. I will try to take a picture to show what I mean.

Here's a picture. I hope this works for you.

I have a Janome 8200 and my bar sits very tight in the walking foot -- almost to tight -- so there is no moving. Maybe wrap a piece of tin foil or saran wrap around it to make it fit tighter.
