In this video I show you how to install and use the quilt guide – a mysterious-looking tool that comes with most sewing machines. It’s really easy to use and lets you sew or quilt perfectly parallel lines.
You can do quilting that looks like this. . .
Buttonholes Quilt with simple parallel lines quilted
Or you can topstitch on plain fabric to give it pinstripes. I did that on this Mighty Casey baseball jersey I made for my husband.
You can click on it to get a closer look.

Have a great day, everyone!

Thank you for this demo! Now I can use that mysterious sewing tool that has been in my sewing toolbox for months. 😉
I have heard the exact same thing from So Many People! It really is a mysterious-looking tool, isn’t it?
Thank you so much for this tutorial! It’s been three years since you posted this and it’s still helping quilters! Blessings!
I need to know what it is called — so that I can find one online and order it. Can you tell me, please? Thanks.
I’m sorry – I don’t know what it’s called. And my manual doesn’t say either.
