My walking foot guide moves a little, too. I cut a piece of drinking straw to the correct size and put it on the guide bar so I can check it before I begin each row. Mine moves when I am moving the quilt to begin the next row, so this works for me.
What a clever idea!

I love my walking foot and I love the guides that come with it. I use the foot with and without the guides. The last quilt I quilted with my walking foot I quilted diagonal lines and just aimed my machine for the next corner. It's not perfect but it turned out pretty good.
This is how I do it.

I could never keep my bar from moving. any slight bump would put it off course.

I noticed that the seam guide can move a little. I never heard anyone talk about this and I thought it was time to bring it up for myself.
My Bernina walking foot has a U-shaped metal part with a screw that holds the seam guide tightly. It doesn't move side to side at all, but can still be moved up and down when I need to rearrange the quilt. The guide on my Viking walking foot is held tight by the screw on the back of the shaft. There may very well be a screw that is meant to be tightened to hold yours, too.
