Our quilt group meets in a conference room at local school. Yesterday our project involved lots of cutting and tables were 'backbreakers'. One quilter had the clever idea of raising the tables by putting a large coffee can under each leg. Instant relief!!

Or buy a set of the plastic risers for beds. One of our LQS' has them under the work table that we use at classes, and it makes life oh so good!

I use the PVC pipe method. Cheap, easy to clean, easy to move, virtually unbreakable.

I'm not quite understanding this method (PVC), can you please explain?
Thanks
