Tool for easy grid/echo quilting
Do you have this little tool for your sewing machine? I have a Pfaff machine and this is called edge/quilting guide. It's great for quilting big grids and echoing any design. Plus, you don't need a washable marker.
My lines are spaced at about 1'', in between lines I will add feathers.

I never did know what the extra screw was for on my presser foot. Duh!!! I feel so silly!! I thought you could only use that little bar with a quilting foot. Thank you both for the tip!!!!

I have it for my husqvarna's also, but there's just a little clamp at the back of the walking foot that it slides into and no screw to tighten it so it does move sometimes, not really a help on it.
Love your work, thanks for the photos.

Same here...any foot and either side.
The guide can also be used to piece perfectly parallel seams in a strip set (say that five times fast!) because you're sewing the seam-to-seam measurement, not the seam allowance measurement. It's also an ideal technique for adding those narrow stop borders between the center of a quilt and a wider outer border.
With the back side of your 'done' strips facing up, add the new strip (front side up) underneath the right edge and run the left guide along the last seam you stitched. (If you use the left edge of a presser foot as a guide and run it along that last seam, you can add strips as narrow as 1/8" with extreme accuracy.)
