I have tilted mine, but, the other way, towards the back. Guess cause I am tall, not short, & that has helped me. Now I have one of those clear extension tables, that makes it all level, so not sure that would work with my setup now?

I see now, about if you have the clear extension tables, so thanks for that info. Also, I have used the wood shims to tilt mine. I guess you tilt it whichever way works for you, right!

I agree, I would be looking at the top of my machine, & seeing where it stitches even less, so mine has always been tipped toward the back...

Seems if you are short, tipping the machine would be ideal. No???????
I hope it would help, gonna try it for sure. Vertically challenged, DonnaB

What a brilliant idea, I don't sew at the machine a lot because my back hurts after a little while, I will definitely try it!
