Question:

I have an attchment for my janome machine which enables me to do measured straight lines.  I haven’t used it for years, and so have forgotten how ! ! It consists of a metal bar about 3 inches long with a right angle prong at the end of it, and 12 years ago it was fantastic for quick quilting diamonds or squares.   Have you any ideas please of how I used it?

Answer:

this is an attachment that fits into the back of your walking foot;  you need to mark one line to sew along and then use this gadget to the right position/width so that when you place this gadget on the first sewing line your needle will be sewing the appropriate distance away.
