That's exactly where this one came from. The company's name was "Richelieu". I found it in the Cupboard fasteners aisle. Where you'd find the hinges and drawer pulls and such. I don't think it was that expensive either.

You never really appreciate how much you move a machine around until your eyes water each time you do. It was that or start fixing them on the floor.

I hope so!! It's really helped me out. DH saw me taking a picture of it and says "Quilt Board?" I just laughed, and told him I knew others would get use out of it too that way.
Be warned though, it's not quiet. The bearings in the lazy susan are pretty much exposed, so it's noisy to rotate. SOs may not appreciate it if sleeping in a room nearby, but otherwise, go to town!

Awesome! Make sure once you've finished the machine you stand and lift with both hands. That's the one thing that got me, I got used to the machines moving so easily, and tried to shift it with one hand, and it just spun. Otherwise, I wouldn't go back to the way it used to be.
