Oh my gosh, I never thought of folding it like a fan or accordian. Great idea. I just spent the last hour or so watching all the Leah Day videos. Great source. I bookmarked the page too. I bought the table she recommends last week. Didn't measure my machine. Assumed it would fit and it doesn't. My brother is going to take a router and cut the opening about 1/2 inch bigger so it works with my machine. I hope having a flat surface makes it easier to quilt also. Thanks for the suggestions. I am so excited to try the new table and accordian folding it!
