I can't kneel myself and so I put two trestle tables together and walk around them when sandwiching. You do have to lean over towards the middle at times which is a bit of a pain for shorties such as myself but I get there. I find having the tops on the tables are easier on my knees and I can stop walk away or sit down for periods as well.

I work on a table top also. If your table is not large enough, sit a piece of MDF or light ply on top of it (cover with plastic if it isn't smooth - staple underneath) to give you a larger area. Sure saves the knees.

I would have over 40 quilt tops ready to go - some are sandwiched ready for quilting, others have backing fabric and binding ready; others probably will never get quilted. I hand quilt most but because of the sheer volume of quilt tops I have amassed, I have started to machine quilt some too.
