    I do just have my machine on the top of my work table. I do have the extended top on my machine. I tried to attach pic? But it is a lot of pull and tug. I try to keep all on the table to keep better control but there is no way I can get more than 1 hour at a time. It is looking so great!

    If you could devise a way to get the bed of the machine level with the rest of your work surface it will be much easier for you. Styrofoam sheets with a cutout for your machine bed would be the easiest or you could build a platform like in the link I posted before. It will make your MQ go much more easier and much less fatigue and achy shoulders and arms.

    I have all machine stitching done! Yippeee!!!! I have also finished 1 1/2 heart blocks by hand. haha considering I have 35 total I guess thats not much.... Anyway I want to get my binding done tomorrow if I can. I can tell it is a first quilt for there are a few wrinkles but I still love it and it will look great on my bed!
