What do you sew on???

The folding tables from either Sam's or Cosco are great. Just add PVS pipe pieces cut to various sizes to place under each table leg to lift it to needed height. Have used these for years cause they're so mobile.

Those of you that use the tables from Costco (the hard plastic ones), don't they "move" when you sew? I tried using a small one we have (the 4' one) and it wasn't very stable so I had DH put it back downstairs in the laundry room.

drdolly: that's exactly what I tried to talk my DH in to letting me do! I suggested we get new granite counter tops and then I could use that section where the sink is for my sewing table. He didn't go for that idea. I thought it made perfect sense...LOL

I use those lightweight 7 ft foldable tables you can get at Sams. I also found a smaller one that you can raise the table top to 2 different heights. I fold them up when I need the bedrooms for guests. I also found a hydraulic stool at Bed, Bath & Beyond that allows me to sit at my high cutting table or I can lower it for sewing at one of the tables.

My husband's been a dream when it comes to sewing tables. He's adjusted a couple for me and even helped my brother in law fit my sister's machine into a sewing desk we found at a yard sale for $3! My nelco machine sits in an old kitchen table. He built a shelf underneath to make the machine flush with the top. A friend gave me a sewing desk that he again put a shelf underneath to hold my sapphire and make it flush with the top. Remind me to give that man a kiss when I see him tonight!

I have a Janome 6600 Memory Craft which I bought several years ago around the same time we purchased a new kitchen set. We were going to sell the old kitchen table and buffet, but when I started looking for cabinets for the new machine, it struck me that I've been sewing on the kitchen table for years, so we moved the table and buffet to our basement and created a sewing area for me. The table is perfect size, the buffet holds my thread, books, and everything else and I have a cutting table nearby. Totally awesome and we're were very glad to repurpose our furniture instead of spending even more on a new cabine.
