The regular tables - like dining, office, etc. are about 30” Hugh and just a little too short for me - I get back aches from them if I cut, etc. too,long. The craft type tables are usually around 36” tall and way too high for me unless I step on a box. So I figured that 32” is just right. Tables dine come this height. BUT - I figured that with the Go! Big sitting in a 30” high table that fits the machine and my “catch”box on the other side, this height would work for me. I just need to work in my sewing area to get a space for a new table!!!!

The joys of being short!! I have a very good friend who is a couple inches shorter than I am and we chuckle about things - like funding long pants that don’t have to be hemmed, sleeves too long, and lots more.

The sashing has a little scissors motif so I am calling this one "I Will Cut You".

It’s still in the box, too only just for a couple months, I need to find just the right kind of cart for my height - I’m sort of short! - so that everything is perfect for me! Anyway, I now have all three machines- and this COVID year has allowed me to purchase lots and lots of dies (thank you government - my SS!!!

Thank you for the idea! I saw those table extenders and thought they were too pricey.
