The joy of a real sewing table
Today I took delivery of a Sew-Ezi sewing table (no affiliations) and wow what a difference it makes to have the machine at the 'right' height with a wide level sewing space. Fortuitously the table is the same height as my work table which it abuts, so now I have a huge surface to support my quilts. I spent all afternoon practicing FMQ, which I have never done before and I had a blast! My results weren't great but I figure it's like playing the piano - gotta practice before it sounds/looks good. And my back isn't killing me tonight. Usually after a lengthy sewing session I spend the evening rolling my shoulders trying to work out the kinks.
AND this morning I pieced a backing for my quilt-in-progress using John Flynn's diagonal seam method. And it worked.
Today was a good day. A very good day.
Just had to share with 'someone' who might understand my joy.

Congratulations on success with the new table. Sounds like it is time to post a picture! 
It is always nice when a purchase is a sound one that makes your sewing easier and more comfortable. It is NOT fun to have to work kinks out of your body after a marathon sewing session! Enjoy your new set up!

I love my sew ezi. I've had it for several years now. I bought it to take to quilting retreats but now have it set up in my studio. Here's a photo when I first moved my equipment into the room.

I don't understand anyone sewing at a dining room table or desk and not having a proper sewing table or cabinet. To me buying a sewing machine without a table to go with it doesn't make any sense. Making do is for groceries and clothes. Equipment use is no place to cut corners without some consequence.

It's a folding table I bought at costco. It has different settings so you can set the height. I take it to retreats with me - it fits a 24 x 36 cutting mat or one of those ironing boards. So handy
