I use a piece of batting attached with a coat hangers to back of a door.

I bought ridgid insulation board and had it cut into thirds so I could get it in my car to take home. If you use gorilla tape to make a tri fold board, it could be folded and stored behind couch or under bed.

All of the ideas are great....but... I think like a teacher. I'd go to a place that sells appliances and beg off an appliance box. Cut the box to appropriate sizes to fit in your area. You could even make different sizes to use for different size projects or perhaps to share. Flat cardboard can be covered with batting scraps or flannel. Good luck.

I made me a portable one with an 18 X 24 art canvas, and covered it with flannel. The quilt I'm making now, has two different blocks, so to keep them straight, I just prop it up next to my machine and keep a sample of both blocks on it...and then chain sew....works wonders...

Hi all, haven't been on for a while. My computer crashed and so I took some time to find a new one. I also found a oil field skid shack that I am going to turn into my sewing cave. It is built extra insulated has a propane furnace in it, also wired, has kitchen cupboards and a stove, but the stove is gonna go I think. Has a setup for washer and dryer which I won't need and it has a bathroom, --walk in shower, toilet. Not sure if I can get water hooked up or not here on the farm. I am going to paint the interior white-ceilings and all. I also have a carpet and pad to put down. I bought myself one of the original scrapbox that some of you may have seen. Bought that before I found the trailer. It has two doors, into each room separately. What they called a bachelor's pad in the oil field. This is going to be interesting to see how I can get it all set up so that I can just leave my sewing lying out and can come in and pick up where I left off. That has been my problem. Hubby likes to put his mags and newspapers on my sewing desk, so then I can't find anything or I have to clean it off before I can use it. Plus 3 hairy dogs, which I don't like all over my fabric.

Use 2 pieces of 4x8 ft Foam board and duck tape to make a seam that will allow you to fold it in half for storage.
