I just read about this on a very old post on another web site about 2 weeks ago. I too bought door stops at $$ store. They are smaller than the ones that come from a hardware store and work great. I am so short it was a struggle to see well and this tilt allows me to look down on the machine instead of across from front to back. My quarter inch seams are much more accurate now. Never would have thought of that on my own.
