My new work space for quilting

Instructions

I went to Home Depot in the insulation dept., and got 1/2 a sheet of two different sizes of styrofoam pieces to fit the measurements of my sewing machine from the top of the table to the top of my sewing machine. It only costed me $14.50..... And I have all the space I need to make my quilts without all the pull when the quilt falls off of the side of the machine.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Accessory

For: Home


Materials

I used two different sizes of styrofoam insulation pieces.

What was your inspiration?

I saw a video on youtube on how to put this together. I wanted to share it with all of my quilting friends.

What are you most proud of?

The fact that my husband and I worked together to make this masterpiece and it was less than $15.00

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

measure your surface good, and dont forget the top is cut different than the bottom.
