I have my sewing machine on a Walmart craft table. My husband put a piano hinged piece of plexiglass in the back that I used for quilting. I’ve since upgraded to a frame so I don’t use it anymore. I cut on a kitchen base cabinet with stone that someone threw out when renovating, as well as a desk with book shelves where I keep my embroidery machine and serger and a file cabinet where I keep (file) my fabrics. I also have two three tier carts one with draws for my layer cakes, charms and jelly rolls and one for my frame accessories. I wish I had more space but it works for me. Like the other ladies said, it has to work for you.
