Glacier My husband is making me a sewing table, just a piece of countertop with a hole cut out, in which to set the sewing machine. The problem I have with my present cabinet is that I can't sit directly in front of the needle, but have to "lean to the left" to sew. I also find that the needle is too far away, 10.5 inches from the edge of the table. With this new table I will be able to sit directly in front of the machine, but I don't know how far from the edge it should be. Tables such as the ones made by Horn appear to have the machine closer to the edge. Can anyone tell me what works best for you? I was thinking 4-6 inches from the edge of the table to the needle. Opinions?
TIA, Jane
