Experience I have been making my own clothes since 1957. Have taught many classes both for young and adults, including my two boys.
Question QUESTION: My machine came with an instruction manual and accessories. One of the attachments was a quilting guide. The problem is that I can not find how to attach the guide in order to sew with it. There are NO instructions in the manual. The manual only indentifies the part. Am I missing a page? I can't get into a manual to check for missing info. Everyone wants to charge me for a download or a new manual.
ANSWER: HI Marthanna,
Since I do not know the brand of machine, can you describe the quilting guide?
does it look like the letter L in shape. If so it usually slips into the presser foot and you adjust the distance between quilting rows.
When I quilt, I usually use the open toe foot so I can see where I am quilting, especially if following the quilt pattern.
hope this helps
happy holidays

QUESTION: The brand is Singer Quantum XL-1. The guide looks like an L with a raised end. I tried slipping it into the presser foot but there is not a hole in the main leg. The other feet with the machine just snap onto the main leg. Am I missing something?
Answer Good Morning,
Usually the guide slips into a space on the foot. Look at the back of the foot. You should see a space for the guide to slip into. If not, then go back to the store and ask them for the right foot for the guide to slip into.
