I like this idea a LOT but my sewing room is the living room and it's crazy enough in there already, I think this structure would be just a little too much. I like the dog grooming arms idea, though! Or maybe I could rig some sort of "holder" attached to my table that I could just pop the top part in and out of so I could only have it up when it's actually needed. I'll have to think about this...I was FMQ'ing a queen a few weeks ago and wondering why I ever thought that was a good idea, LOL. I got it done, but it wasn't really fun or easy. This would help a lot, I think.
