I've heard this a couple times but always forget to try it. Thanks for posting about it.

My solid plastic tilted laptop stabilizer holds my sewing machine at the perfect angle - no more neck pain!! Thanks for a wonderful tip!! I got it at Ikea for $2.49 - look up 'Brada'

I went into the garage and found a 1" piece of board that was in my husband's scrap pile and it works perfectly for me. Wish I had done it years ago.
|
I started with door stops & they work great. A friend at a retreat husband built the wooden one & she was selling them. Best 20.00 I ever spent. Really help neck & back. Computerrized machine doesn't mind it.

Cagey says she wants to tilt the machine toward her. Is this right? I think it would be more natural to tilt it away from you. Please explain.
Having it towards you, the machine head would block your vision of the sewing bed. Right? or wrong? Edit: okay . I just saw the post for the wooden angles and I see what is going on. I have one problem with this. My machine sewing bed sets even with my table so I can't angle it. :( |

Question. I am having trouble visualizing this. Do you tilt the machine forward or raise it in the front?
