Some churches will let you set up and use some of their tables. I have heard some people use an old ping-pong table. If you have space there are some ping-pong tables that fold up when not in use. My table folds into a full length mirror. Got it from a Sewing Machine dealer/repairman. At the time it seemed like I really splurged, but my daughter told me I deserved it. It was $350.00 - marked down from $400.00. But it is a miracle for me - it is the proper height for me, I am 5'9", the cutting table folds out to 6 feet long opens to 40 inches wide. My husband fell in love with it when he was wrapping gifts one year. The full length mirror is nice to have also. Since it is on wheels it can move easily around the room, or even around the house, but I leave it in the sewing room.
