Maybe a change in furniture arrangement? I have 2 tables in a L shape in the center of my room. One with the machine and a small cutting mat, one with my pressing board. I don't even have troll, I just swivel my chair.
I have kids though so I'm frequently as it is and need to maximize my sewing time. My recent project is 1" squares so if I had to get up to press between each seam I would never get it done.
