When I bought my sewing machine in "99" I also bought the tilt appliance with it. I have problems with my neck and they suggested it. Let me tell you it makes a world of difference. I don't sew without it.

you know rubber door stops do the same job. So why put money on a tilt appliance, when you can use the extra money on material. Gosh, that's how I see it now.
|
I read that tip too and tried it with two door stops from the dollar store.....nice improvement.
Someday I hope to have a built in but until then this works great. |

My machine is tilted as well ... a tip from my quilting instructor. It really helps.

Tracey's Tables actually makes a slanted table. They just put it on their website not too long ago. Wish they had had this when I ordered mine a couple of years ago.

I bought 2 rubber doorstops at walmart. |
I know it is supposed to be ergonomically better, I just haven't tried it.
Think I'll try the door stops of 79 cents. I could always use them elsewhere if I don't like it. Thanks for sharing! This board is great!:) |
