Traditionally used for bedspreads, quilting is now used for crafts, garments and home decorating. The quilt guide is helpful when sewing parallel, evenly spaced rows of stitching. Insert the quilt guide into the back opening on the shank. Slide the quilt guide to set the width at the distance you desire between the stitching rows. Use a washable marker to draw the first line for stitching.
