Thank you for posting these pictures of your new set up. I've heard some positive things from other quilters who have done the same thing. I would love to see a picture of you actually using your machine this way. Would you consider posting such a picture?
How far from the edge of your new surface is the needle of the machine? Are you sitting or perhaps standing to quilt now? Sorry, but I'm having a hard time visualizing just how this works for you. The edge of the needle looks pretty far away to me, although it may not be. Would love to hear more about how this is done. Are you quilting from one long side to the other and then unrolling the bulk, or??
Thanks so much,
