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
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.
