We have a tennis table set up in our basement for the grandsons but we leave it set up all the time. It is a wonderful place to cut fabric, lay out blocks or sandwich quilts on. I sometimes pile fabric along one end or side and still have plenty of room to do things. I use blue carpenters tape to hold down backings while sandwiching. I also safety pin them all over which is easier for me than down on the floor!

I had a ping pong table and tried to use it to cut fabric a while back. Loved the size but found it was awkard due to the wide width. My arms were not long enough to reach across the table.

We sew at a church that has 2 table tables and we take the nets off and use the tables to lay out our quilts when piecing. We also cut on one of them. They are so big that several of us can cut at one time.

I would give my eye-teeth, if I still had them, for one to baste the quilt sandwich. Don't know where on earth I would put it, but it sure would be great to have a surface large enough to properly pin baste.

I have one in my basement and use it all the time. Yes, a little low for cutting, so builded my self a shelf that was the right height. Then the other end is where I do my FM sewing, with the machine next to the table. It holds the quilt up. And I also use it for laying out my squares and so on...
