The tilt tables are great, but the rubber door stops just drop very easily into my sewing box when I go to a class or retreat. The tilt makes a huge difference to me. Try different size of door stops to get the tilt you need.

You literally learn something new every day. I've been sewing more than 50 years and had never heard of this till now! Think I'll try it!

I've been using the door stops for years...2-3 under the back of my machines. Don't do this when machine is in embroidery mode (if you have an embroidery machine)...It will throw the calibration off. I also have a quilting extension for my embroidery machine and can use a couple under the legs of it as well. I don't use the "tilt" on my serger either. Don't think it would be good for the machine...plus the fact, it's not really needed for that one.

Tilting the machine doesn't throw "it off". I too use door stoppers. I find I don't hunch over with the machine tilted and helps me focus those lovely bifocals better. I can hardly sew without them now.
