I have a pretty good size cutting table I put my machine on that and still have to man handle a large quilt to get the binding sewn on, I think it comes with the territory of large quilts. Gives you muscles too.

Here's a GREAT idea (I think I first learned about it from this forum) for 'taking the weight off.'

My sewing room is in the attic with cathedral ceilings. It's too small and cramped for the extra table/s approach and the sloped ceilings prevent me from using the quilt cradle method of suspending quilts. But quilters can be very creative and on her blog Becky Goldsmith suggests an alternative to the quilt cradle that works on any ceiling type. Check it out. Have been doing only baby quilts lately, but I hope DH will install this set up for the next larger-sized project I start.

I am lucky that I have a sewing machine that is not in a cabinet so I can take it to my church fellowship hall. I put as many of the tables together as needed. I also live a few minutes from my church as well. I like everyones idea of extra tables and /or ironing boards. Teresa
