I love the way you DH recessed your machine. I am having a room addition built for a studio. I bought a very nice old table to use for my machine. I will refinish it in a shabby chic style. Would your DH be willing to share how he did the recess and how it supports your machine? I am hoping i can do something like that to my table since it will be exclusively for sewing and machine quilting with my Bernina.
