Edith sent me a long note and several pics of her table – she’s thrilled! Here’s what she shared:
I wanted to send you a thank you note. Recently I was all ready to buy a very expensive sewing table – it was 30% off, but still more than I wanted to pay!! Like $1600!!! Fortunately for me, they asked me to measure the width of my door before they delivered, and we discovered that it wouldn’t fit. Solution to that problem of lost money LOL.
I was on YouTube looking for videos about how to put together the three layers of my quilt without getting on the floor, and came across your video for making a “cheap” quilting table. Hallelujah. In three days I had bought the insulation and cut it to size, Had put my quilt together (and not on the floor!) and was sewing it on this fabulous set up. $40 for the insulation and I already had the table. Fortunately I have a drop in bobbin on my machine so I didn’t have to cut out the insulation for that. I really needed 3 1/2 inches thickness and I used to pieces of the two inch just because it’s what I had, so I trimmed it down around the free arm and it’s working pretty well.
For the first time I am sewing without a sore back, without sore shoulders, without tired arms! I’ve used several of your videos and saw what you showed about the ergonomics and it’s made a world of difference. Sometimes though I loved sewing and I love the finished products, I don’t love the almost torture to my back. This has solved that!!! Bonus!!
Put me on your list of testimonials! I am very happy I came across your YouTube videos. I will attach pictures. And by the way the quilt is being made for my six-year-old grandson from shirts of his dad, his granddads, and even one of his great grandfathers. It’s not perfect and I really don’t care about that LOL. It’s as good as anything I’ve ever done and I’m enjoying making it!!
You’ve really been a big help! Thank you so much and keep up the good work. I will continue to follow you for ideas!
