Since we are mostly full-time RVers, I have a table set up in the back window of our 5th wheel. We host for state parks in Oregon so when I need to sandwich a quilt, I usually take it to the Visitor Center after hours and lay it out on the big tables there. I only try to machine quilt small quilts and send the bigger ones out. I have a long kitchen counter that is great for cutting and ironing. Been doing this for almost 5 years and yes, it does get frustrating at times.
