Have you thought of tieing your quilts. that is the way i always did mine for years. My dh just made me a table out of an old computor desk we bought at a salvage sale for 35.00. it is really neat he cut a hole after drawing a line around my 6600 and made a shelf for it to sit on and it came out great!!!! I can't seem to post pics on here right now for some reason but if you PM me your e-mail i can send a picture to you, it will make a big difference just on regular sewing having the machine even with the table.
