I set my sewing table in front of the desk, so the quilt can move from the sewing table onto the desk as I sew. To the left of my machine, I set up a 2x4 foot table, and then another t able beyond that to support the quilt. It's a big mess when I'm quilting, but it sure does help. It also helps me finish up a quilt quickly so I can put my family room back together!
