Sheri - sent you a PM

Here is the block with the quilting done. Good practice - which I need LOL!!





For the test run, I put the machine in a treadle cabinet that has not been refinished yet. The roughness of the cabinet made it a bit harder to move the block around. I think if I were to do this regularly, I'd either finish a cabinet to a very smooth, durable surface, or make a table like I did for my main machine.

We modified this cabinet so the machine sits proud of the surface, and then the plywood extension slides in place. It is cabinet grade plywood finished with about 6 coats of hand rubbed Salad Bowl finish - it's very slick and durable. This is the same finish I used on the wood countertop for my Baking Center.
