I use a door mirror on the table of my midarm machine. As I quilt across the frame, I can slide the mirror back and forth underneath the rolling platform. It does not get in the way. I can see what is going on the underside of the quilt just by looking at the mirror. Hope this makes sense.

I want to use the iPad on top of my Nolting and monitor continuously the underneath so I can catch something quick and not spend time ripping. I need a small wireless camera that talks to the iPad, so I am thinking there must be an app for that. I need a camera that can be plugged in as battery life is short.
I looked all over Amazon and can't find one that will send its signal to the iPad. I don't want to run a wire from the camera to the top of the machine and worry about the wire getting tangled as the machine moves. Mirrors and flashlights don't work for me as I have neck and knee issues getting under the frame. Thanks for the replies

I have a door mirror on my frame too and I still can't see close enough. I do the hand mirror with a flashlight and have better luck. But thanks for this thread because it's got me checking out cameras I can use with a laptop. Just one more thing that I think I need.

I used one of those huge clips to attach it to the base of the machine, strung the cable up and over a conduit pipe I have on the ceiling holding up all my other cables/power cords and then down to the laptop I have sitting on a rolling cart at one end of my frame. Works like a charm and didn't cost me much......I think less than $50 for the 30ft USB cable I found on Amazon.com. I also was looking in the Quilter's Eye but was told it was a waste of money and it did seem like a lot of money to me.
On the Innova yahoo group in the files they have a DIY folder where folks have placed their ideas for add-ons to their machine systems. I was lucky I had these 2 items already sitting around the house. Think someone with an Innova was able to hook her cable to her tablet so its doable.

I used to do that with my Grace Pinnacle frame. I could do it because the top two rollers were mostly over the table.
Now I have a q'nique 21 on continuum frame. The take up roller is at the front of the table and quilting takes place in front of it. While I have a table, it's useless for the mirror idea. Oh, well.
