Thread: Tilting a sewing machine

I had forgotten about the 'tilt'. I used it with my old sewing cabinet but discontinued when my DH built my new cabinet. It makes it much easier to see.

A Board member's husband makes a wooden tilt. I bought two of them, use with both my machines. Not only can you see better, I find it's less back strain. I think her name is Debbie Umpress

I use rubber door stoppers found at the $ Store.

Me too - until I got an insert for my cabinet to bring the machine bed down level with the cabinet, and now the machine sits differently in the cabinet. I really like the machine tilted, it helps a lot to see what you're doing. I kind of miss it. Maybe I'll try it again even though I have an insert. It could work!

Me too, on the old Frister Rossman I recently bought it was missing one foot so I put 2 on the rear, kept the odd one as a spare and sit it on a PC Mouse mat, it really helps to see the stitching.

i use rubber door stoppers too+i mark on them with a line so i get them even on both ends of the machine---i was not a believer until i tried it help +++with shoulder strain
