Clover Needlecrafts 9584 3 Piece 6-in-1 Stick 'n Stitch Guide by Nancy Zieman

Buy this product! I tend to be a swift sewing maniac. These items help to keep straight seams, accurate hems and precise results. The sticky substance makes them stay in place but also easy to remove upon completion. VERY handy! Very Helpful.

Love these seam guides. I was using a metal, magnetic one on my first sewing machine but it left some scratches and I always worried about it messing up the computer parts. When I upgraded machines I purchased a few packs of these. I use them all the time on all my machines. They stick well and do not move while you sew. They can be taken off or re-positioned fast The sticky part hasn't had any loss of stick in the last few months and I use and remove them almost daily. UPDATE 2022: well, I am still using these on my machines and they still work great. After 6 years they are still perfectly fine and sticky. I am so glad I got them.

Not magnetic. Glued some on.

Wow are these a game changer! Im a very unseasoned sewer and often have long periods between projects and ive really dreaded hauling out my machine. So I invested in a few items to hopefully make sewing a little easier and more enjoyable. This is one of those things. These little babies have definitely improved the straightness of my sewing stitches, keeping my projects looking neater than before. They stick pretty good and do not leave any residue when removed. I like that they lock into each other if you’d like a longer guide. Ive only placed and removed them a few times, and they’ve held strong. Since they are repositionable, they have just a teeny bit of give if you are really pressing against them, so be mindful of this, as i did find that after a project they wouldn’t be line up fully straight anymore. But in my case it wasn’t enough to make a difference, and my stitches still came out much straighter than without. Idk about hand placement, but im a lefty and I often do things weird compared to others. So i tend to guide the fabric with my left hand around the far side of the machine while my right hand is guiding it on the side closest to my body. This is where my hand has slightly pressed against the stickies and slowly unaligned them.

This attaches to your machine throat in whatever area you want for you seam width. I wanted 1/4" and put it down for that then couldn't get it off! It does stick. Was worried about breaking the bobbin cover that it was partially stuck to. That part is expensive and may not be available for older drop in bobbin machines. I feel it would be best for the front load bobbin machines as the pieces won't stick to those covers making reloading bobbins easier and less risk of damage. For what I wanted I could have used a good magnet seem guide but I don't like to use those on that comprised machine so tried this. Probably won't ever use it again

This is the second one of these I've gotten. I loved the first one so much I wanted a second one to go with my go-to-quilting machine and supplies. It just plain old does everything it's supposed to do--which is pretty much always the case with Nancy Zieman branded products. I highly recommend this stitching guide if you need very precise stitching of binding, log cabin strips, strip quilts, etc. The adhesive is good, is repositionable, and doesn't seem to drift off line as you sew. I'd buy another one if I had another machine for it to go with!

UPDATE as of 9/2017 ******* I have switched to a Bernina 740 and no longer need this seam guard as my machine has a dual feed presser foot that comes with its own seam guard that screws into the machine and also requires the use of the single hole centered stitch plate which assures me that all my 1/4 seams come out consistent and perfect as the needle is always in the centered position. I did want to mention that the plastic sheet that comes with this notion that has various measurements including a 1/4", is something I still use today to check my 1/4 seam when using my walking foot and/or using a regular presser foot when I have to move the needle over. Its funny after all these years, I am still using this Clover notion for its plastic measurement sheet that is included in this package. As far as the "scant" quarter inch, I was very new at quilting when I wrote my original comment. Its very fussy and obsessive and not as critical as you might thing. I get perfect 1/4 seams consistently on my machine and when I do the test for a 1/4" that requires sewing three strips together, they all come out perfect in width. I feel all this obsession over a scant 1/4 just causes unnecessary anxiety for new quilters (but that's my opinion). BTW, if you use Accuquilt die cutter, it requires a GENEROUS 1/4 seam to get the units to come out Accuquilt perfect.

For binding and it keep it straight while I was sewing.
