Very clever!

What mess? Isn't that the way a sewing room is supposed to look?

I'm thinking later on I'll put legs on it and make it longer so it can handle bigger quilts. I didn't at this time because I wasn't sure it would work. Now I know it does so lowes watch out...LOL

I'm using a regular singer I bought at WM. It doesn't have as much room as some but it works for me, right now anyway until I can afford something else.

You and your husband did a great job. I think that the john flynn machine set up is a good idea but have heard from other quilters that they have a hard time with his machine and don't like it.

I've had requests for a tut but I'm not sure I could do one. I didn't take any pics of the process so if I did it, it would have to be me just trying to explain what I did.
