My quilting space is a jumble of mishmash-ed old furniture and make-do tables. My cutting table is, in fact, our old dining room table. But it is really low and uncomfortable for me to cut at. I have to bend my 5′8″ back practically in half to reach across the table when I am cutting long strips. Definitely not a lot of fun when you are cutting 4+ quilts at a time!
So the options are to either buy a new table or find a way to make this one work. Being a thrifty Yank, I decided there had to be a way to make this one the height I needed and more ergonomically correct.
Viola! Place 4 bed risers under the legs and I get an added 6″ to the table leg height. Not only do they do the trick, but I got them for 1/2 price, with a gift card! He he he – I didn’t pay a penny for them!
I wish I could claim total credit for this clever idea, but it was at the suggestion of my friend Gerry that I try this. Thanks, Gerry!
