    Default What would you do?

    I have an opportunity to by a gently used relatively new koala dualmate at 1000.00 the problem is that it is the shortest one at 29.25 inches.

    I can get this table and then get a separate cutting table (most likely the sullivans hobby table) or I can buy a new koala for significantly more at the 36 inch height.

    I do have back problems so either way for cutting I will need something at the 36 inch height.

    What would you guys do?

    Yael

    I would buy the dualmate, because I like to sew at that height and then get a separate cutting table. I don't know how I could sew at 36". Besides I'm cheap.

    I would get the Koala Dualmate, and a separate cutting table. I also have back issues, so my sewing machine has to be at the correct height, and my cutting surface has to be at the correct height too.
    Is this the one for sale in La Junta? If so that's a great price especially with all of the extras!
