Hey Folks!  In today's episode we're chatting about sewing machine tables.  Oh my goodness, this is such a big topic and there are so many options and honestly, quilt room organization and sewing machine tables is a love affair topic for me.  And I know that there are many of you that don't have a designated sewing room, but don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you guys either!

I'm breaking down a list of the best options and brands for designated sewing tables, tables that do double duty, and how to store your machine if you need to pack it up at the end of each session.

Designated Sewing Machine Tables

If you have the room for a designated sewing machine table, I think they are the absolute best option for comfort and sewing ease.  I've found that I'm 10x more likely to sit down at my machine if I don't have to set it up or move anything out of my way.  Though this is an option that many don't have because of space.  I get it.  Check out these solutions to see if they might work for you!

Craft Tables

For many of you out there who are able to carve out some space to keep your machine set up but not able to claim a whole room, the craft table is an excellent option.  With a craft table you can have your cutting mat out and just shift your sewing machine around to suit whatever task you're up to in the moment.  You can purchase a special "craft" table but I don't suggest it.  Instead I suggest getting an Ikea dining room table.  The small ones that are 4 seaters but really ideal for apartment living.  I used to use a Melltorp and it served me for 7+ years.  It was the perfect size to fit a 24x36 cutting mat with room to spare while not taking up a ton of room in the craft room/ office. 

Sewing Machine Storage

Before I was able to carve out a space that was all my own, I had to store my machine in a closet.  I'm sure many of you can relate.  If that is the case, I highly suggest getting a hard case for your machine.  The last thing you want is a spool holder to snap or some other minor disaster to take your machine out of commission.  

For those of you who have a standard size machine and/ or a travel machine for classes, I suggest getting a rolling sewing machine case.  It will protect your machine and make traveling (either to class or down the hall) a breeze.
