Popular Post ..Kev Posted March 30, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 My wife has requested a new quilting desk for her new space. Apologies for a long series! This is a pretty massive project so, I think there will be about 5 videos.. Cabinets will be BB ply with Alder trim. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're getting dangerously close to talking about sewing here She has a long arm so, has an absolute massive amount of that stuff and chose to store them standing in a drawer.. They got some topper thing that holds the spools and bobbins together so that they together and stand nicely. If that doesn't work, I'll end up building something special for them.

B1rdhunter Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Building a new house and the same thing will be needed for the wifes Longarm and sewing/cutting tables. Seems to be quite a few woodworkers married to quilters around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the spirit of woodworking, we're still on building stuff. I'll bet this very ask from a wife gets asked of members often and it's a big undertaking. If you wanna talk about sewing though... I did just upgraded my machine... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted March 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 I'll be the first to admit that I don't know poop about sewing! This desk design is directly from my wife. We spend a lot of time with blue tape on the floor to lay it out and then a bunch more time at the computer to design the cabinets based on her storage needs. She's actually going to keep the old desk and dedicate it to another machine that she has. I'll just need to build a solid insert for it. I'll also probably build a new base for it.

Popular Post Brendon_t Posted April 1, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 My mom is a very talented, poverty taught seamstresses. I learned growing up out of childhood curiosity, then to help, then I started enjoying it. My mom just upgraded her machine to some fancy German unit, so I got here old Husqvarna. It's s great skill to have. Just the other night, I busted a seam on a cornhole bag with no extras of the same color. Went inside and was back with it before a commercial break would have ended. And I didn't spill my beer. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 The desk looks great! I don't want my Wife to see it. My Wife doesn't do quilting, but probably anything else to do with fibers, and fabric. At least you didn't have to build a shop with a pit, like I did back when my Wife decided to start a boat cover business, and sail repair shop. With a pit, the whole floor becomes the table for the sewing machine. She quickly had more work coming in than she could do with the canvas work, but then our children got older, and required her time. That shop is now one of the storage buildings here. There is a new quilting business a few miles from our place, on River Road, in a new building they built specifically for that. They have classes, but I think it's become more of a club where the ladies hang out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 I googled it to see if it had a name. I found other stuff like that the group has a name- Lake Gaston Piecemakers Quilt Guild There is not a lot of population here, but the number of retired people grows every year, so this has really taken off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
