Very thrifty and creative videos you have. Do you accommodate for Bernina's knee lifter--if so, how do you do it? I wonder, if I can find a grid vinyl like you have there on top.

@CallMeNancy2 Hi Nancy, unfortunately I had to give up using my knee lift, but my comfort level and the ease of quilting more than made up for it ;) A grid pattern on the vinyl would be nice! I know that some companies now make a "raincoat" material that might be slick enough, and it's *pretty*! Thanks so much for watching.

A pesar de mi escaso inglés, pude realizar algo parecido en mi máquina de coser, gracias por compartir esta idea, desde Buenos Aires Argentina

Where can I find the foam sheets like you have? The reason I ask, my husband and I were only able to find the following 2 sizes, 1/2" x 4' x 8' Extruded Polystyrene Insulated Sheathing, STYROFOAM 3/4" x 4' x 8' R4 Insulated Sheathing. With these being so thin, what else can we use to lay the styrofoam up to make it flush with the arm of my sewing machine? Any suggestions will greatly be appreciated. TY

@LadyTburd Hi, Try local concrete builders - ask if they know where to buy the insulation - or you can cut and layer the 1/2" until it works for you. I find that it is harder to find the insulation in the warmer states - but hope you'll keep trying the big home improvement stores, or asking professionals who work with concrete because they use the foam around foundations when building. I live in Alaska so the choices here are plentiful :) Marguerita

@CallMeNancy2 Well, one was a sewing table, the other, a fold up table like this one.

@quilterstitch I lucked out and found two different sewing tables at Goodwill. Don't count them out.

@Imbz48 Hi, the sewing machine that you see in this video is a Bernina 180. It is over 10 years old. I also use an old Kenmore (1970's) and an even older mechanical Bernina Record 720. All of my machines are second hand, usually bought on craigslist. Each machine has its own set of foam and vinyl :)

What kind of sewing machine do you have??
