Oh, I do understand. I sewed for years on one end of our dining room table with a two-drawer metal file cabinet I bought at a thrift store to stores my things in. The top drawer was for notions and tools, the bottom one for fabric and work in progress. It locked with the push of a button which kept my toddler's inquisitive fingers out of the pins and needles. I would just disconnect my footfeed and power cord, throw them in the drawer as well and lock the whole thing up. Things will get better in time. :)
