I love my big table...DH separated an old 4x4 table. slipped one of my machines down into the split, perfect height for me. Then surrounded it by 2 4x8 sheets of plywood finished on one side. Put legs under it for support (no vibration) Put an ironing pad on end of table that holds machine... Put extra cutting pad on other end, and and taped a 8 measuring tape across the end. My main work area is in different area, cutting area, ironing area display board, and other 2 machines, I have all this in my downstairs. I also have an extra double bedroom, bath, laundry, storage & Family Room so I have to keep my quilting areas clean and tidy. Maybe this will help set up your space. Some times small works better then large..
