I have a corner sewing table that I have my machine on. I have windows on both sides. It is wonderful.
My cutting table is an antique dining table that my husband and I bought, actually it was our first piece of furniture. My husband got me a piece of plexiglass to put over it to protect it and I got some wooden bed risers to raise it up so it wouldn't hurt my back. It is the perfect, and sentimental, cutting table.
