I set up in front of one of the recliners but DH said no problem, we have another recliner, an overstuff chair, and a couch so he's comfortably covered no matter what!
That's one of those Sew Steady acrylic tables. That's a small one but I have a large one for that machine as well. They will make tables that fit any age machine but they will tell you that they cannot be modified. My DH modified the large one to fit my Kenmore computerized machine by shaving off some of the acrylic in the bed area. That made the table a little bigger in the bed area for the machine you see, but the table is so stable, and the increased gap was so minor, it still works great and isn't noticeable at all.
