So Scott found these corner "thingees" and also found a liquid rubber coating. After dunking each piece and letting it dry for a few days, he installed them on the top carriage.
Same story with the handles which are made out of pvc pipe. I thought they were going to be too big. They aren't and they work great.
Using a couple pieces of doweling, Scott also fashioned a holder for the laser stylus for use while stitching pantographs. The first one we tried did not stay in place, especially when the machine was bouncing all over. This one is attached with a wood screw through a hole drilled through the aluminum tracking on the upper carriage. It's terrific.
I think my husband is breathing a sigh of relief. It's finally finished.

I talked with Arvil and he is willing to give it a try. Of course I have to wait until hunting season is over (however he did get his bull elk). I love your posts and I hope they stay on here until we can get all your improvements documented.
Dear Karen, Glad to hear Arvil is willing to build you one. I know you will love it. Let us know if we can help!
I am in the process of making this frame. Love your ideas and look forward to learning to quilt. I have an old machine with a 7" arm area. I hope I will be able to use it. Beautiful quilts you have made! Love them.
