I already had these two end tables, which get moved all over the house and were currently not being used for anything important. Initially I put them together to form a long rectangle but changed my mind so I could extend the one on the right to make ironing easier. I was afraid they might not be stable enough for fast machine quilting, but no jiggle was evident as I speedily quilted the piece under the needle here. And most importantly, I was sitting above my work with no tension on my upper arms or shoulders. Much much better.
I can easily move this to any part of my studio that has an outlet, and I just quickly put it here, without having to move any other furniture. I can tell you right now, that my folding table on risers will be the first to go. Then I might scoot this all over to the left side of my dining table, soon to be the fabric spreading out table, where I will be more in line with the TV and closer to the phone, should you be phoning me. ha!
I have a nice space for my knees, and my barefoot pedaling of the machine, plus I can easily move the knee lifter without banging into a table leg. The dining room table is just high enough to be above the sewing extension and yet low enough if I need to drape more of a quilt over it as I sew. I am leaving a blank space here for my 5PM cocktail.
I really think this will work, and I didn't spend a nickel. Yay!
Interesting how inventive we can be! You're on top of it. Love the barefoot pedaling. Have fun.

I'm in the process of doing a similar thing....finding odd pieces around the house to re-arrange my studio/office space. I only have a small bedroom so space is limited but so far I've brought in a chair and a folding table. I like to barefoot sew also.
ReplyDeleteKeepin' it green. Recycle, reuse, etc. FYI, I'm having withdrawals; need dawg photos...pretty please?
ReplyDeleteI like those end tables! It's hard too get something the right height.
ReplyDeleteI like seeing the dawgs too! Look, you've even got us spelling it like that.
Show me the beasts!!
ReplyDeleteI don't comment much, but I enjoy all your adventures. Thanks for all the information you give us on a regular basis. And, I do like the doggie updates, as I am allergic and have to enjoy pets through pictures.
