I have quilted a number of quilts without an extension table. I do like to have space around the table my machine sets on. Put on your darning/quilting foot, lower your feed dogs, put on your quilting gloves and put the pedal to the metal!

I have used books, the right height placed around the sewing machine to make the sewing area level with machine.

Remember, we were doing this long before the invention of the extension table. I think it will work fine, especially with a small one.

Of course

Thank-you so much every-one for your advice and help.

You can use anything; a portable table from walmarts or TV trays. Leah Day shows configuring them into an L shape running beside, behind the machine and if you can put it up against the wall so that you won't have to worry about it falling off the table. This may not happen for a smaller lap quilt but it works. If you have a small table or something to help support it that would make it easier but you can do anything you set your mind to.
