/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I will probably get the chance to have a bigger sewing space in the near future. I've only recently started, but my biggest pain in making stuff so far has been not having a large enough table for laying out large material for marking and cutting.

So I'm thinking I should definitely get a big, solid cutting/drafting table to help make this part of the workflow smoother (and less dreaded by me). My current surfaces are both too small (not even enough free floorspace), and/or not quite flat (like on top of a bed). I'm hoping a proper table for this would make this easier for me (and then I wouldn't be able to blame the circumstances).

This is the article I've read, and while I won't start planning out size and so on until I know the measurements of the new place, I would love to hear any experiences or tips you guys might have regarding this topic (both getting good at cutting and setting up a sewing space for optimal cutting).
