The only problem I have is the quilting room at the end of the quilt. I try and start with my quilting the same way I will have to end it.

The hardest part about the table top quilters is to get a sturdy table to put it on and to get it level. My DH bought me a solid core door and we put it on 2 wall cabinets that we bought at a second hand construction store. Spent about 70 dollars for the cabinets and door and my frame cost me 400. Then electrical cord, PVC pipe and switch for 'handles' was about 20. Not a bad deal.
thanks for the pic and info, I had never thought about the leveling. i too was going to use a door on top of a table for stablity, what is the mirror for?

:-P
