love the video! Been looking for a solution for that a long time! you can also use ironing boards set up on either sides of you table to hold the quilt.they adjust to the height of your table.you can get them cheap at yard sales etc..

@DixieGirl9876 You are right and that's how I started out - with cheap thrift shop ironing boards, but they were too wobbly for me when quilting a large quilt. Then I tried a card table, but it warped under the weight of the sewing machine, then I found these tables and five years later I still love them! Thank you so much for watching and for commenting!

I set mine up this past weekend. Thanks! Can't believe how much easier it is!

@pdengler1 Hurray!!!!!  It's amazing, isn't it? Such an easy fix solves so many issues :)

Love the video on ergonomics, but i have a question...how do you get to your bobbin area to change bobbins with the sewing table you have constructed? Do you have to move the foam board every time?

[CrazyShortcutQuilts]

@swissflentie Thank you! Yes, I do move the top foam, but only a portion of it. I cut the "arm" part of the top foam so that it's just a small piece to lift and move each time I want to change bobbins .... the bottom foam has an area cut out of it that's big enough for me to easily reach in and change the bobbin. I have a downloadable PDF book with lots of photos, or a 1 hour long video that explains everything in much more detail, if you want to see more. Thanks so much for watching!

@LottieSue Hi Lottie Sue - Thank you so much for telling me! I edited this so many times and I still missed that! You're wonderful to bring it to my attention and I am going to go fix it now! I hope you like the ideas and tips and that they help you with your quilting ~~Marguerita :)

Unfortunately, the banner announcing your new book covers the area you are demonstrating - bummer. Perhaps you can consider moving the banner to the very bottom?

@qupia Guess what - I use the table as my computer desk too!! :) I am so glad to help and I hope you love your new sewing table.
