Where is your sewing machine? A good tip
#31
I have my sewing machine on a table away from the wall and butted up (back to back) next to my sewing machine table is another cutting, work table, etc. When I machine quilt the quilt goes onto the work table butted up against my sewing machine and I have a fold up table that I put to the left of my sewing machine to hold the bulk of the quilt while I am quilting. It works great for me.

I bought the quilt suspension system from Patsy Thompson Designs. Take a look at it. Very helpful.

Last year it was unusually cold in southern california (I can hear the laughing from folks in the 'actual' winter states). I have no insulation in my workroom, twenty feet of single pane north facing windows and I do most of my sewing at night. I bought a small table and put it in the dining room over the heat grate! To handle quilting, I set up a wooden tray and put my big cutting mat on it. It supports the quilt and is easily removed and stored. It has worked so well that I have kept that table and machine up.

My machine faces the middle of the room, my back is to the window - I like the light behind me. My table has an extension arm that I keep up so any quilt work has plenty of room (over 4 feet) so it doesn't hang anywhere.
