It makes measuring seams quick and easy.
Cloth guides come in all shapes and sizes – from a piece of tape stuck to your sewing machine to a flange on the side of a foot. But they have one thing in common: they make it easier to sew a consistently even seam width.
The ever-ingenious engineers at Janome have created a truly unique Cloth Guide design that allows for maximum fabric surface contact and visibility. Janome currently offers this special Cloth Guide for the Horizon 7700 QCP sewing and quilting machine and the Memory Craft 11000 Special Edition sewing and embroidery machine. The two machines offer a similar design, but they function in unique ways.
The Memory Craft 11000 Special Edition features the integrated AcuGuide™ Automatic Cloth Guide. This Cloth Guide snaps into the embroidery arm of the machine, and the embroidery mechanism dictates the positioning of the guide for truly precise seam measurements. Just snap the guide in, set your measurement on the touch screen, and sew! No need to measure or mark your fabric.

The Horizon features a snap-on Cloth Guide design. This guide works with the built-in ruler located on the top of the Horizon's arm. Simply align the Cloth Guide with the needed measurement, and snap it in place. The guide creates a rigid and reliable surface for aligning your fabric as you sew.
