Tuesday's Top Tip - Felt under the Seam Guide

The seam guide needs to be screwed down tightly so it doesn't shift out of position while you are working.  The danger is that a touch too much pressure can damage the surface of the bed of the machine.  If your machine is beaten up already, then a few more scratches add a bit more character. However, if you want to prevent damage, the answer is a piece of felt.  Cut a little hole for the screw to go through, and you have the perfect protection.
