I got so frustrated I finally put nails in the floor to cage the sucker! Really!
My next project is to glue side walls on the white parts either side of the black plate. I'm constantly groping for the "sweet spot" and having shoes catch on either side. ArgggggH. This too, shall be overcome!

Into your cage, Fang

Thanks Aussie, I have to use a table top, but not because I'm short, I just don't have a cabinet for my machine. I think I will try the door stops, I've heard of slanted wood under machines to give them a tilt, and the door stops before also, but have never tried either. My shoulders have been giving me fits when I sew, so I am going to try the door stops. Thanks for the tip.
