I have an extra sewing machine set up at one end of my large cutting table just for when I go to add my long borders/sashing and bindings. This keeps the weight of the quilt onto the cutting table and not hanging over the side fighting me. I stand when I use this machine. For awhile I was enjoying this machine so much I was using it for piecing too but have gone back to my trusty Viking Designer1 as I just acquired the extension table for it. My extra machine came with the extension table and I was enjoying the extra area while sewing. Problem with the Viking is that now its basically too high to sew comfortably and I can't cut the table its sitting on due to the type of folding table with drawers that it is.
