No wonder you can piece with fabric if you can design, cut and piece with wood that easily. Good job.

Hot Dang!!! You are so smart!! Can you come over and make me one, too? How does it feel sewing that way? I guess after awhile, you get used to it. Great Job! Now I gotta go bug my DH to make me one! Thanks for the clever idea.

Cool cool cool idea! Thanks for posting

I'm 'guessing' the 2 surfaces are not 'perfectly aligned' but really really close. Is that correct? Does it still work ok?

I've been trying to figure out how to cut the shape of the arm of the sewing machine without messing it up.

Looks like your batting, fabric, and plastic make for some 'fudge room'

Thanks again

Awesome!!!

You are right, they don't align completely flush because of the batting, but it works perfectly. The vinyl makes the quilt glide easily.

I measured across the base of my machine and cut my opening with a jig saw about a 1/2 inch smaller then just shaved a bit at a time until it fit snug. Having it snug against the sides of the machine keeps it from moving around while quilting. The batting, fabric and vinyl flatten out against the sides, so you need to get the opening really close.

You put on your thinking cap for this. I was never brave enough to use a saw, but envy folks who can. You may be in business making these, if you are interested in making them for profit. Good luck.
