Looks good to me.

I like your setup. I use the thread stands at all my machines including the embroidery machines. It feeds better for me and doesn't get tangled.

Looks great! I have a sewing table I bought from a yard sale, a desk gotten at a second hand shop, and a folding table from Walmart that I combined similar to yours. It did shrink my space some but love the set up.

An expensive sewing station is completely out of the budget due to health issues. When I think about it, I'm not sure I would be any more pleased with an expensive sewing desk and cabinets than I am with what I came up with. For under $100. I have seen the suspended system and wondered about that but for now my station works.

Thanks, I did redo the chair. Had some old quilted fabric and a thrift store chair. Got tired of looking a black. Hope to get a newer chair soon.

My sewing machine was on an old farm table, but it was always cluttered with my tools and projects, so I found one of those old oak desks that teachers used when I was a kid, and now the clutter has real drawers to live in. I especially love the two slide outs that are either side of me when I sew ( like a breadboard in a kitchen), now I just need to make a small ironing pad to use on one of them. Best $35 I ever spent at Goodwill.

How wonderful to have room for all that help with supporting your quilt!!! Color me green!!!

To be honest, that is what I have found to be best for me in the long-run -- and often the least expensive too, especially if I count not only gasoline but time. As I have gotten older, TIME has become my most precious commodity!

That is a great solution, where the quilt is entirely supported while you quilt. Great use of those tables.
