I am contemplating kitchen cabinets for the base of the cabinets and supported extended (36" deep) countertops on top. It is about 36" high which is about a foot higher than the standard stand. I think that the added height will make it easier to work with and will be the same height as the hooping and trimming workspace. I think that it would be easier to thread and get hoops on and off at the higher height. Unfortunately, there are many more thread breaks than thread changes. I can get a stool for that, if necessary. David Sklar Ballyhoo! Arlington, VA 571-217-4940 ----- Original Message ----- From: "E.
