Sorry for the lack of a picture, but I have a Janome DC2010. It came with a "quilting bar guide" that fits into the regular feet. (Edited to add: There actually is nothing in the manual about the quilting bar guide & the walking foot since the walking foot was a separate purchase and didn't come standard with the machine)

However, I did special order a walking foot and I'm pretty sure it came with a quilting bar guide too since now I have 2 of them, they are slightly different from each other.

The trouble is, I can't get either quilting bar guide to fit into my walking foot! The bar easily fits into the slot in the back of the walking foot but it doesn't fit snug and I don't know how to make it fit snug, otherwise the bar guide is going to wiggle around and not be accurate.

Any help? I could call my dealer, and maybe I will tomorrow, but they are about 1.5 hours away so it's not like I could easily show them what I'm trying to figure out.

thanks in advance!

I don't own a Janome, so I'm taking a shot in the dark. Is there a tightening screw to hold the bar in place. I'm thinking of my Bernina, which has such a screw for both the walking foot and regular feet.
