Default Sewing Room Re-Do

He put casters on the other table to raise it for cutting. Now they sit so the cutting table can hold a quilt when it is on the machine. And it can be rolled out for moving around when cutting.

I'm so happy.
Dear Granny 17:

I just now read your posting from last year on re-doing your sewing/computer room. I also have my computer & longarm in the same room & 2 years ago my computer died. I was told that the reason it died is because the hard drive was covered in lint from my longarm. I was told that I have to vacuum my hard drive every once in a while to keep it from filling up with lint. Just thought I'd give you a heads up on that so it won't happen to you. Have fun with your new room.
