    so glad I got to read this.
    Not only am I going to use all these tips for my quilting, but I am going to start
    saving a TON on paper etc. with the grandmouslings!
    Also, thank you so much for showing the picture with the shower board over
    the insulation, as very soon I was going to cut my insulation and fight with
    covering it with vinyl.

    I had read that someone on here had done this and she has an indention
    where her hand rests.
    THANK YOU!

    My surface can now stay smooth and depression free, lol!

    I like your idea for a table and practice quilting block. How do you cut this to fit your machine. I would love to have one of those extensions for my machine, but no intention of spending big bucks that I don't have.

    Grace, I would try using freezer paper and put your machine on it and
    trace around it for a template.
    Of course, then you use the template to cut your wallboard the size you want.

    I just measured my machine and cut out the lower right hand corner of the board using those measurements, though using freezer paper would certainly work as well ! My total cost for my table ( I already had the old rectangle kitchen table ) was roughly $30 for the foam insulation and the wallboard. and it gave me lots of left over of both !
