beetle....I hope you are sewing on it by now;0)And, remind dh that it might be a bit of a pain..but, boy did you save him so much money!!:))What a lucky guy he is!:) Also,I am sure if you play around a hardware store, you can find (later) a hinge that will work for what you might like to have different on the table folding-you just might have to add a support brace if you do that...which they sell also:)And, I bet you are going to look like one smart quilter sitting behind it sewing away!!:))We are all clapping for you!
