Working with a tiny budget and being really short statured sent me on rounds to the thrift shops and looking on Craigslist. I needed to be able to sit at the table I purchased so I could make sure it would work ergonomically. I found the white Gidget table on Craigslist for $30. A couple of months later I went into the local thrift store and headed for the office furniture section in search of a computer desk. I walked up the second isle and fell across a Horn sewing cabinet, held it in my arms and told DH to find someone who would take my money. DH made a template and cut out the cabinet so my Juki fits perfectly into the cabinet. I paid $20 for the Horn cabinet! I'm now looking for a small student desk for the Featherweight. When I quilt my quilts I use the white cabinet behind the Horn and put a card table behind that to make a long table. To my left I put a folding table and can quilt up to a full size quilt without it falling down beside or in front of me. Being broke is the best motivation for figuring out how to make do!
