Thread: Need advice on choosing sewing machine furniture

Looking for a sewing cabinet that my machine can set down in and I can fold it up when needed. So many brands...some very expensive. I need a lower end price. Any recommendations?

Tracey's Tables are less expensive...

I got the gidget 1. It was 1/4 of an inch too narrow for my machine. My brother cut it down. It shook when I sewed. It is heavy (I lift weights and am in good shape but it weighs more than I expected). I have a babylock which has an irregularly shaped base. Need a custom insert for it and have no idea how to get one. I returned to using my dining room table. Too bad you don't live closer. I would just give you my table if you wanted it.

If I were to do it all over again, I would get the sew ez table with a custom insert that they offer.

Sorry. I am not usually so negative.

If your Gidget shakes, you might want to check and see if everything is where it should be underneath it. I had a brace that wasn't in place that caused the same problem with basically the same table. I emailed Arrow who makes my table and they were very kind and helpful in their response. I felt a little silly when I found out it was an operator error.

Thanks for the suggestion. I thought I would really like the sewing table. Dining room table just works so much better for me.

Make sure the needle of your machine will be located in the middle of your body, not to your left side for ergonomic reasons

I got this Arrow cabinet and love it http://www.allbrands.com/products/ab...ogle&ovtac=CMP . Closes up when not in use and is used as an end table of sorts. If you shop around you can find a decent price for it.

I'm cheap and never buy anything new if I can get something used and make it work. I bought a desk at the HFH Restore for 15.00. It is 36x60. I am going to make a cutout to set my machine in. It has lots of surface for handling a large quilt. I think the prices for sewing tables is outrageous, but like I said, I'm cheap. :)
