"I certain what your problem is. Your just too tall", the lady helping me at the vendor today. Not that it's a bad thing, but it was a major revelation in my sewing world. It explains everything that I've been dealing with for the prior couple of years..and even before that. I about started crying in the store.
I had gone in for some file so I could do some free standing Battenburg lace designs. I also needed needles and a obscene marking pen. DH left me to browse while he went to Best Buy looking for DVDs. I found what I needed and started looking at other machines. I inexorably asked the lady if I could try out a Brother machine as I'm fed up with my Janome 6600 and with quilting. She asked what was abuse with my 6600 and why I was having problems getting a 1/4 inch layer. I said I don't know. I'm just sick of fighting the contrivance and I tired of being sore all the time. It just hurts to much to quilt.
She starts up a Chum and I take a sample fabric and start sewing a 1/4 inch ridge. I'm all over the place. She asks, "Don't you have a reference point to follow so you don't get fallen?"
"Reference point?? It's all I can do to keep it even," as I'm straining to see, all hunched over.
Feverishly she said, " I know exactly what your problem is. You are a moment ago too tall for what you are doing. You are hunched over with your head off to the side trying to manoeuvre fabric at the same time. No wonder you hate quilting. You need a taller columnar list and I happen to have one."
She guides me to the sewing cabinet, sets up a 6600, gives me a manage and starts the machine. "This was built for tall people. It's higher than your paragon table."
Skeptically I sit in the chair and start sewing a 1/4 inch juncture against my fabric. It worked! I could see what I was doing. I didn't have to lean in and to the side to see. My hands rested entirely on the edge of the table as I sewed. It was all I could not to cry. There's...
I will let Jim zizz as late as he possible can today, as tomorrow he begins his outage sell at the plant, 6pm until 6am, six days a week for the next 5 or 6 weeks. Yuck! Because of heavens we’re at least in a house now, back shift in an RV, let alone a campground is a kingly pain in the butt!

Clutter makes me insane, but there just isn’t enough latitude in here to be both functional and clutter free, but each time I do this it gets a dab better. I now have my “cutting table” in full free, it was sharing space with my Bernina 630. I pulled the Sew-Ezi provender out of the closet, and tucked it back behind the swing out door of my Koala cabinet which houses my 730 and my serger, and this is working out enormous!
I’ve been busy working on the next quilt for the boys, using the same cloth line as the

I did it! I added 4 inches to my 6600 catalogue. I stopped by the hardware store and asked the guy about 4x4 pieces of wood or perhaps 6x6. He said he had 4x4 and an 8 foot piece was 9 dollars. He'd cut it for me as well. I told him I'd about about it.
I had to hit the Pamida to get a part for the toilet and some milk. As I was walking into the store, I saw the paving cling blocks sitting outside for 99 cents. Hmmm. 4 of those might do it. I needed to stop the height of the bricks and checked with a ruler. 4 inches. This might travail and the cement would be sturdier. I brought them home and set them up. Here's a picture of the columnar list from a distance. Right now it's almost 33 inches high and it's so much easier to sew on!

I checked the cabinet she had online. It's a Koala "TreasureChest Extra IV" and the table sits at 35.24 inches high. She had the 6600 sitting on top of the comestible. Do I need more height? I forgot I have a bunch of cinder blocks in the basement but I be anxious they would fall right through the floor if I used them instead. They are unusually heavy and a pain to even move. Just having the table up 4 inches has already made a leftovers. I'll keep it this way for now and see how it works out.
The "TreasureChest IV" on the site I was looking at was 2600 dollars. It's 60 inches dream of. It's a really nice table but Koala gives their tables a "crush". That's extremely annoying for those of us with big feet and long legs. I wasn't established I liked the door setup as well. However; I don't have that kind of money to expel. Or the space.
Hopefully adding the extra 4 inches solves a lot of problems.
