Hawk, hang onto your second machine. you never know when your fav is going to need to go to the 'machine doctor'. :-D
The woman bought a toilet tank repair kit and used the long arm thing with the hook. She taped it to the top of her machine and ran thread from a cone through it. She sets the cone in a large coffee cup and sets it on the back side of her machine. She also used blue foam insulation board to make a sewing surface level with her machine and covered it with heavy clear vinyl. She said that the fabric glides over it like warm butter. She had her machine on a folding table with adjustable height legs from Sam's Club
I saw that same video. I was thinking about making one myself, and put some sticky back Velcro on the pieces to secure them together.
