Your quilt doesn't have to be suspended. I'm also not quite sold about suspending
my quilt...but I might have to go that route anyway. My sewing room is more
functional than anything else. Anyway, what's most important is that your quilt
is supported on all sides. You could put tables all around or maybe ask your DH
to build something on hinges that you can let down when you're not quilting.
I put one banquet table in front of my sewing machine plus my big ironing table.
Then I have another table on the left side.
