I just used a small student's desk but if it were my main machine, I would look for a large (oversized even!) desk to convert. You can often find those at 2nd hand shops and the like at a very low cost. You may even be lucky enough to find a whole office set of desk and cabinetry and you could be all set.
I like this idea! Some office desks are huge and would offer a good sized work area for your sewing projects. Also good drawer space for storage. In our area there is an independently owned office/school supply store that sells recycled office furniture. I'd be trying there. Banks and schools usually have such furniture sitting in storage.
