Let me tell you...right now, I'm sewing on our kitchen table, which under normal circumstances wouldn't be too bad...however, our kitchen table is a "Pub" style table so it is higher up than a normal table....feet don't touch the floor, therefore foot can't reach the footpedal...soooo, footpedal is on the table and I'm using one hand to work footpedal and other hand to guide....will be getting regular table this weekend LOL :)
