Quilterpurpledog, at Weight Watchers we call your movement planned inefficiency or planned wasted steps. I purposefully keep my ironing board in another room so I have to move,as well. I just thought the idea of a quick adjustment to stand for a while would be neat....never thought of the vibrations. Maybe someone can invent such a thing and go on Shark Tank for funding!!!!

I have my old viking mega quilter sitting on a corner of my cutting table and sew with it all the time. Its been there since I got a nolting fun quilter to replace it as my quilting machine and thats going on 8 years now,i think. It doesn't vibrate that much unless you are sewing pedal to the medal! Which I don't! Anna

I have one sewing machine located at one end of my cutting table to sew on long borders and binding onto my quilts. This gives me plenty of room to lay the quilt on instead of having it hang over the side. My main sewing machine is up against a wall as I have no where else to put it so my quilts will bunch up in the back. Since the other machine is on the cutting table I do have to stand for this. I'm looking into finding just the right height stool to put there as standing for such a long time hurts my feet and back.

If you go to the Arrow sewing furniture website, they make a table that is adjustable in height, I think it's called the Tasmanian or something like that. It's listed in with their 2nd line of sewing furniture which is the Aussie line (the one that has the Dingo table). I think it's pretty pricey, but not nearly as pricey as the Martelli height adjustable table.

standing tables are already marketed in Albuquerque. I saw one at the sewing center the last time I was there. It was beautiful and pricey. I'd never even considered such an idea until I saw that cabinet 3 weeks ago.
