I would not want to quilt a queen or king using this, but works great for twin or smaller!
The handy part is it just folds up when not in use.
I think this is genius!! I am going second-hand shopping for an old card table..... or on second thought, I have already been shopping for an old, wooden, smaller top desk to cut the top out of it so that I could insert a sewing machine into it for the family room..... but what a good idea to make something stable and pin a quilt to it. I think I could make it work to alter a desk, so that I have the drawers for stuff, and have a quilt pinned in the open space.....then move the quilt around as it gets quilted.....hmmmmmm.....you are giving me something to think about!!!! Great idea.
