I'm going to make me a "tool belt" to hold my tools so I don't need all that "stuff around the machine" DH likes the wooden carriage because the top holds scissors, threader, tweezers, etc. He has gone back to his old hobby of restoring old pickups so I don't think I will be seeing him around the quilting setup anymore so I guess I can take control and do things to my likeing. :lol:
thats very interesting....right now Ihave a juki (9") and my DH connected handihandles to the front of the frame with the off/on switch and cutter on the left button. It works very well but we do have to roll alot. I would love to have more room, at least do a 12" block/one at a time. Thanks, something to think about LOL
