No, I do not know what dh has made-up behind his machine; hard to tell because he invents things that work for him. He helps me cut out pieces for quilts because he has two eyes, and I have one that sees. I just turn my blind eye toward the worse mess.
He also makes his own kilts to wear since we retired 'cause the others on internet is too expensive.
I have spend a number of years building up my stash before we retired...in Corpus Christi and the four LQS there. DH said, its your choice when we move to retire: all your kitchen food stuff or your sewing stash. You can see what my choice was.
Here in retirement in North Central Missouri, I have a new friend who loves to quilt, has a stash much bigger than mine, and is willing to take me along on her once a year road trips to acquire new materials. She also knows more about quilting than I do, and is willing to teach me. (She loves my home cooking)

GV09, I ask my dh and he said it lifted up the needle & presser foot so his hands were free.
Yes, dh machine is called Lily.
Thanks for all your kind words everyone; I love the phrase "much loved room". We don't always sew together, he does his thing, while I do mine. Or he will do other things during the summer and sew with me, if he feels like it, in the winter months. He has his bedroom where he can make all the noise he wants too, and I have mine that is filled with books and its a "QUIET Zone".
It is called a "peace retirement" time in our lives.
