    I ready this blog post a while back in which the author describes tilting her machine away from her for better visibility. While I haven't tried it yet, the theory makes sense.

    My suggestion is to go to a hardware store and get a couple of those nice hard rubber door stops. Put them at the rear of your machine to give it the tilt. Works wonders! And, not at all pricey.

    What an interesting blog post. Although in reality, it doesn't seem to make sense, after reading her blog it does seem logical. Maybe I will try it her way and see if it makes a difference. Thanks for sharing!

    Oh, that is what I was saying earlier - it would depend on the height of your table and chair too I think. Maybe I will try it.

    This is what I do. I put three across the back and it works great.
