I tried this method and it didnt work for me,

I do and I use a door stop, for 79Cents you get it tilted and because its rubbery it holds

What a cool idea...I'll have to try that and see if it helps my neck.

I tilt mine. Someone on the board was selling lifts that her husband made and they were really nice.

My machine bed fits level with the cabinet top, but I tried the tilting anyway. It really helped me. I didn"t feel like I had to lean over to see what I was sewing. Easier on the back.

All of my machines are treadled so I can not take advantage of something like this but because of it being in a treadle its not hard for me to see and doesnt bother my back.

this is what I use also

Love the comments about losing the stress on the back. I will be seeing if I can sew longer than I used to, without the backache. That would be great.

DH made me a tilt table for my machine & it works fantastic! I work from a recliner on a TV tray, so it's a necessity. Some day I hope to get the Sew-Eze table so my machine will be even with the top & then hopefully FMQ will be easier. Also sturdier...
