    On the Gidgets, just be sure before you order one that you measure your machine and get the right table - Gidget I for the regular size machines, Gidget II for the larger machines like the new Horizon.

    Also, may be a problem if you have a front loading or side loading bobbin casing. Not sure if the lip of the table is narrow enough to allow easy access and opening to those 2 bobbin locations. If not, you will have to bring the machine up to the top of the table to change your bobbin.

    They don't take returns if you do not get the right table so be sure you are ordering the right one!

    I was thinking of using with my 301...whereas bed lifts to get to bobbin...Have a 301A in a cabinet and I can assess bobbin...my modern machines have the top load...And yes I did see Gidget 2 is for the way bigger machines...
