Go to Kmart and get some bed risers. They're little stands meant to go under the bed legs to raise it higher, I have them under my kitchen table for cutting fabric, saves my back, big time! I bet they'd be perfect under your sewing table. For some reason I found them in the kitchen area and they were about eight bucks for a set of four

Hmmm...I've heard that bed risers can play a large part in lethal furnishings based accidents.

This is my latest acquisition. It is a 1951 Singer 201-2. I had missed out on one for $60, but I only paid $65 for this one, so I'm happy. I think there was a dry bearing initially, it would squeal and shutter. After quite a bit of oil and some running, it is now running smooth. When I have more time I'll have to tear down the motor and get that cleaned up. I've heard that the new Singer grease isn't good for these motors any more. Can anyone confirm, refute or recommend something else? Also, has anyone ever tried using one of these old adjustable hemmers before (second down on the right)?
I think I played with it once. Like all hemmers it must have a learning curve that I don't have the patience for.

I use this for so many projects. It doesn't handle thick stuff without me helping out, but for hammock stuff, it hits the spot. It has a drop in bobbin. easy to thread. not too heavy.
I got it after I got shown the door at work for being me. I had started using a sewing machine as a teenager and this was the perfect pick-me-up. Well, life sometimes has a way of getting better without anything really changing. I simply realized that work really interfered far too much with life, stopped looking and began living.
I love my Taiwan made Viking. Life is a treat!
