Somebody posted about the doorstops under the sewing machine to change the level. Well I spent $1.67 each for 3 of them at Walmart. It really works. I sewed all afternoon & my neck & shoulders don't hurt like they use to. So if you have any doubts try it. I think you will be amazed at the change. Thank you dear friend that posted this. I can't thank you enough. Deb

It makes seeing what you're sewing much easier , too . I got that tip about a year ago and have been doing it ever since :thumbup: Annie

Ok, you sold me on it. I'm going to try it.

Good ideal! what is the height of the door stop used.

Will have to look into this.

Some people have a wedge for their machines . I don't have a link for that . I just bought 2 packs of rubber door stops . I stack 2 on top of each other . If your machine bounces , this will stop that too ! Annie

My doorstops are 1 1/2". I didn't stack them, just spread them out under the back of machine.

That's fine . It just depends on your preferences . I needed mine a little higher . Want to hear something funny ? Before Christmas my 18 yr old grandson , comes in my sewingroom . Looks at my machine tilted and asked what happened to it ! I told him " nothing " . I told him it was just tilted . Poor thing couldn't figure it out ! Just hilarious :lol: Annie

My friend in Lexington NC told me about them and it makes it so much easier on my wrists. Glad you found out about it.

I used door stops until I got my sit inside the cabinet set up. Cant use them now but they do work well.
