    Very nice, Leah Day recommends that if you can, put your table up against the wall so that the fabric doesn't fall behind the table and pull on the quilt effecting the quilting process. A corner would be great so that you have both walls to keep it where it needs to be.

    That's a great idea. We have an entertainment center and the part where the TV goes is currently empty. I put the table against it so the quilt can fall on the TV shelf, and not onto the floor. Reduces the drag considerably.

    This would be perfect for me to use when I go south for the winter.

    Very nice setup.
    Where did you get the small table next to your sewing table?
    I could use one.

    Good thinking! They sell those smaller portable tables at Walmart too!

    I got mine at Costco but they also have them at Walmart, and probably Target and Kmart as well. What's nice about them is they adjust to 3 different heights. I used it at the lowest height yesterday to measure and cut hems on 3 pairs of pants while I was sitting comfortably in my favorite chair. They are light weight, and inexpensive.

    I have the Gidget 2 which has wheels under the table on the right side so you can pull it and I also have an insert for my machine so there are no gaps... when I really need a big area I put a $25 white folding 2x4 table behind it.. I will not pay $1000 for the same space!!! love this little table!!
