I bought a tilt board at the Houston international quilt festival many years ago and used it for years. It does help with back and neck strain and if your table is not the best height for your machine.

Sounds like a great idea.

Wasn't someone making them and selling them here?
Here it is: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-54134-1.htm It's closed but I saw more recent posts listing the lifters for sale. You could PM to see if they're still making them. |
Most economical would be using the rubber "door stoppers": simply
prop two of them at the rear of your sewing machine. |
I haven't tried the lifters, but I may just have to try it, as these old bones get more and more sore nowadays...
|
Will have to try this.

Why would tilting a computerized machine damage it?
