When I first got the Juki, I didn't sink it into the table because of the bobbin position, so it was very hard to move the quilt, even with the excellent (and smooth enough, so I thought) extended platform. I called the store, researched online, and tried everything I could think of. Finally, in despair, I appealed to the board, and several really experienced quilters reached out to help. I will always be grateful.

I didn't understand what you meant by "put a shelf paper "cuff" around the fingers of each hand". Can you explain more? Thank you.
