Default Lighting placement

I have searched about lighting and got a lot of information except for one thing. I have 5 Ott lights in my sewing room. Three on my sewing table and two on my cutting table. I also have a ceiling fan with four light bulbs. I just bought two 4' shop lights with fluorescent T8 "cool" bulbs. Hopefully today my husband will be putting them up for me. One over the sewing table and one over the cutting table. I want to avoid shadows and ruler glare as much as possible so I was wondering where is the best placement for the lights? I was thinking directly over both tables would cast too much shadowing. So would it be best to hang them about 2/3 from the front of the tables? Both tables are dining tables and measure 36" x 60". I hope I explained this to make sense.

Thanks!
