Jeanann- Me too! Solid wood vintage drop leaf tables are readily available at garage sales and Craigslist for a pittance. I have 1 of mahogany (free) at the small family summer cabin, and 2 of oak ($30 total) at home. I keep 1/2 of the table open for regular sewing, and flip up the other side when more room or cutting space is needed. I don't sew much so this works for me. Got tired of a plastic folding table bouncing when I sew. Perhaps keeping an extra folding table available to put behind you sewing table would work? Or if you have a kitchen type countertop cabinet along one wall you could roll your machine cabinet over to it when extra depth is needed? Height matching might be an issue. Good luck with your research.
