Are you planning to use both?

This is a re-purposed desk that DH and I modified:

Nice, looks alot like a couple of computer desks I have here. Is it an old computer desk??

I really think it was. It seemed to me at the time like it might have been a printer desk because of the long slots behind where a monitor would have sat, but there were keyboard trays in it originally. You can see in the pics that the left one is still there. I use it to "prop" things like quilts when I'm binding or piecing.

i would imagine you could do either way. my husband bought me a 'craft/sewing table' that has a spot in it that drops for a machine. well, it drops a little too much for my machine, so we had some 2x8 we weren't using & he cut a couple lengths for the spot, to raise up my machine. we thought i'd need 2, but one does fine. anyway, my point is, depending on your machine you currently have and the machine you'd be getting, if they're close to the same size you could have him cut it to fit both. if you're not sure, or don't think that'd work, or can't make it adjustable at all, i'd just wait and see what you get...but if they're too dissimilar, you may not be able to have him cut a one-size-hole-for-both-machines, anyway. i think it's really swell that he's making a table for you!

Great idea! That's what I'll do in my sewing room. I already have one insert. All I have to do is have one made to fit my newest machine.

I bought a Janome MC 9700 and it came with an Arrow cabinet. It didn't fit the opening, but I was able to contact Arrow Cabinets and get a plastic insert to fit. However, I am now looking at a bigger machine, and it won't fit in the opening. I'm planning to just get another table so that I have both machines all set up and ready to work.

My husband made a table for me with a counter over 2 unfinished cabinets from Lowes.
He cut a hole in the counter (also from Lowes) for the machine
