I use blue painters tape -- I can use one strip several times. I follow the tape with the edge of the foot so I can make the strips as wide or narrow as I want. The bar on my walking foot is a bit wobbly so I prefer the tape.

I use the blue painters tape also.
It comes in different widths and each
strip is reusable for several stripes.
And it’s cheap!

Unfortunately this foot would not work with my Pfaff when I want to use the IDT. I don't know if it would work with a regular walking foot. I MUST USE a walking foot or IDT for my quilting.

I haven't tried my machine's seam bar, since I had one on a different machine that wouldn't stay still. I should try it and see if one of the fixes here would work if it slips.

I've used painter's tape, but don't sew right next to it, since my needle could/would catch. I put it 1/4" away from where I want to stitch, and use my 1/4" foot along the edge of the tape.
