Iceblossom, Yes, I gathered the skills required will take some time to achieve.
Right now I am using my bar style kitchen table for my machine. It's a bit difficult to use because of the height, but it is better than the floor. My plan is to find some kind of furniture that has drawers. I want to get two of the same things. Then I can just go to Home Depot and purchase a nice sheet of plywood or maybe MDF. Something that is stiff and smooth anyway. I can then laminate it, and use it for a top over those two cabinets. That way I have storage, and a work place.
I have lots of magnets from my model airplane (rubber powered) building, but maybe the 1/4 inch feet with the metal guide on the right might be a good thing. Not sure, as I feel the fabric, if it wants to bunch on the right, is going to do it regardless of what I use. Not sure what anyone thinks about these 1/4 feet with the guide built on the right.
