The Bernina SMs have a little (about the size of a 'legal' sheet of paper) shelf sort of thing that fits on level with the free-arm. Someone at Bernina with a great sense of humor calls it a 'table'. This gives a larger flat area to support whatever you're sewing. The problem with this table is that it fits on with delicate pins that pop in two at the worst possible moment. Some years ago, I told you about my discovery. Two unopened cans of tomato paste slipped under the table will provide good support for the table if you are a bit heavy-handed when stitching. Last night, one of my cheap solutions started to leak from the can's seam. Easy enough to discard and replace it - but that could have really been a major disaster. So. I know that most of you regard me as just a pretty face, but if anyone was paying me any attention at all and tried my solution, it may be time for a Change of Paste. Polly
