I often use a small white board to practice a motif for quilting. Today I realized that the magnetic clips I normally use to store the white board on the wall can also be used to hold the board on the LA machine. The clips are just the cheap ones from the dollar store meant to hold paper. I move them to the side and prop the board on the front of the machine. The magnetic parts are lined up with the bar on the machine and help to keep the board from moving. It works only for the first strip of quilting, but by then I had enough muscle memory to work without needing the as board close by.

I will have to try this when my long arm arrives. Got to finish the space first.

Be VERY careful with the magnets around the circuit board of your machine.... It can cause SERIOUS complications.
