what does your mid arm sit on?
I am the lucky lucky lucky wife of a man who bought me a Juki 2010L for Christmas. I am so excited to start using my new toy, but I am not sure what would be best. It has a side bobbin so a recessed table would make the bobbin hard to get to. However, it seems too tall when I just set it on a table.
Ideas? Thoughts?

If it sits on top of the table is there a larger tray that you can buy for the machine. I put my juki onto a small quilting frame so I donot have the problem. My horn cabinet has a door I can leave open when using so I could get to bobbin. It is a beautiful machine enjoy..

I have a Juki with the side load bobbin. I cut a hole in a 6 foot table and put a brace under the table for the machine to sit into. The bobbin cover comes up just fine. I would send a picture if I knew how.

update: after playing with it for a while I see that the bobbin cover will come up even if theres no side access, so I plan to eventually get a wooden table and get DH to make me a cut out. In the meantime, I discovered the small folding table I have for my small Kenmore can be adjusted to a lower height so I have the Juki on it with the extension table attached and a plastic folding table butted up to it which will work for now. I have a bad right shoulder and I cannot sew for more than a few minutes without the set up being ergonomically correct or I get terrible pain and muscle spasms which make doing anything impossible.
Eventually I want both machines set up on their own tables but for now I can play and I am happy.
I can't figure out the needle threader but I have the rest worked out and she is a lovely machine...I feel very lucky!
