We had two drafting tables, and it occured to him if he put a peice of wood along the bottom edge (being very carefull not to split the wood), that you could adjust the height of the table and with the table being at a angle it was (and is) much easire on your back and eyes when using it.

I also have problems seeing the threath clearly, therefore I have place the sewing machine up higher so I can see much easier in the first place.

I have used Peggy's stitch eraser' for some time. What I like about it most is the fact that it will clean up the back of my embroidery. Just be careful you don't cut any of the design threads as they will come loose if you so. If you do, use 'Fray check' right away to stop any thread from coming loose. I think your idea is right one.
