My sewing was done on the kitchen table for years then I moved up to the dining room table for many more years. This is my first sewing room in over 50 years of sewing. When my children were young I don't think we ever ate a meal without the sewing machine on the table.

Enjoy yourself.

Arkansas is a pretty long walk from Tampa. He has no car or job. So... if you want him I'm sure you can make arrangements.

Great set-up and even better Son and Grandson! I am drooling over your Horizon! Do you love it?

Each table is 30" x 48". He bought a 1" x 12" x 48" board at home depot. It is mounted under the side aprons of the table with wood screws. The dimensions were perfect for my application. He put the sewing machine on the table where I wanted it an drew a line around it. He cut the hole by drilling a hole in the corner and using a jig saw. He allowed an extra 2 " on the right side or the machine for reaching the cord and other things. My Horizon came with an acrylic table for use when quilting. I had an old foam kitchen mat and we cut that and put it on the shelf under the machine. Brought the machine up to a perfect height and quiets some of the vibrations and noise. The acrylic table sits on the table top and rests on the machine mounts. He doesn't know it yet BUT we forgot to allow for me to access the free arm so we have to cut out a couple more inches.

I had thought about a counter top but wanted more depth. Let me know how yours works out.
