    I have had that done for a while and it does help my neck and shoulders when I sew. I have used door stoppers under the back of the machine.

    I tilt. You can use door stops that you would get from any hardware store

    The rubber door stops work great for this. You get them at Walmart or hardware store.

    Interesting. When I moved recently, I found my two doorstops in a moving box from the sewing area. Wonder if I tried years ago and it didn't work . . . . .

    I tried it with my featherweight and the angle is wrong for my seeing the whole sewing area -- I'll try it when I get back on my other SM

    I really like that idea. I'm going to try it and see if it helps my back and neck. Thanks for the idea.
