turner: I was thinking the same thing, when I read your post. If you were to cut an opening in a plastic table you already have, I was thinking to build a narrow table the height you would want your sewing machine to sit at. Then (the wheels kept turning) I would use the extra few inches of space for quilting items, maybe rulers etc. Also, if you make a top to fit the piece you cut out and attach legs, so it would rest on the lower narrow table, your table would be flat again. Just and idea for a multi use table. gmacindy
