What cutting table do you have that you would recommend? Please be aware that I have limited space and the sleeping/sofa couch doesn't help either.
thanks for any recommendation!

Hi,
What I did for an inexpensive cutting table is I went to Ikea and bought 4 table legs at $5.00 each and a table top in the size I needed, which is small, 23" x 29 1/2" for $15.00. It is sturdier than my folding table and looks nicer and is a size that fits in my space. As long as your cutting table is larger than your cutting matt, you should be OK. Also, it is easy to unscrew the legs and store the table in a closet or behind a door. Hope you have an Ikea near by. If you don't, perhaps you could mail order the table legs and then attach them to a flat interior door as some one else suggested.
Good luck.

I use the dining table, when quilting on the frame DH made me.

I love the wall paper in your sewing room, very vintage looking and would make my old treadles feel right at at home!!

Here is one my husband made for me. He bought 4 unfinished kitchen cabinets at Lowe's and we painted them white. He then put them together like this (the other 2 are on the other side) and we ordered the top for it. I love it because it is kitchen counter top height and since I am tall, it works well for me. The top is 50 X 72".
