The walking foot has feed dogs to move the top of the fabric while the feed doge under the fabric are moving the botton of the fabric. The guide is used so that if you quilt in straight lines that you get the lines evenly spaced across the quilt--the quilt guide is placed on one of the lines you've sewn so that the next line is exactly the right distance
