Sorry about your table. Have you ever heard of freecycle.com? If you have an item you're willing to give away and in turn have an item you're searching for you can post it on this site. You would not believe the responses you will get. I was willing to offer an trash bag full of yarn I can no longer use to knit and have received a bundle of quilt batting and someone else former fabric stash. Give it a try... |
Now that's what I call dedication or is it addiction? LOL :)

I am so sorry for you. Years ago I made curtains on a table 2.80 X 1.80m. With only my car in the garage I still have it wish I could help you people crawling on the floor. Eish those knees and backs!

That's what I use as a cutting table. And if my rotory cutter runs off the edge of the mat, the table takes it in stride. (one of the white plastic folding tables.) |

When cleaning, it was faster to walk on my knees to the next spot, same with weeding the flower beds. Now at the really ripe old age of 72( tomorrow) I am paying for it. Do take care of those joints now!!

Here is a hint that does not cost much. Get a table from the discount store and cut some PVC pipe about 18inches and big enough around that the legs of the table will fit in but won't go all the way down. Place the PVC pipe under the legs when you need to cut and take them off when not needed.
Good luck. My old back sur won't take that kind of bending |
Yep, you're a certified quiltaholic! lol lol lol
