Do you find that you have enough room for larger size quilts or do you still find yourself needing just a bit more room?
There is an option for $100 to get a table top extension table for this machine but i would still be "hovering" over it, so I gave up on that idea.

I would like a do over and set the machine to the right instead of the middle so am on the look out for a different table. I figure I'll use this one for my Janome and a 'new' one with the cut out on the right side for the Juki 2010 that I gifted myself with this Christmas....I just couldn't pass up the interest free LOL.
Yes! That is Exactly what I was thinking about! That looks awesome!!!
Did you buy your Juki from a dealer?

There is a larger table which would probably be nicer, but I'm starting to run out of space in my sewing room so opted for the smaller portable table so that I can take it down when I'm not using it if I wish. I've always used machines sitting on top of large office type tables, but I have to say that having the machine table height did seem to be easier on my back and shoulders. Also, the machine with the larger harp space helped a lot with that. I didn't have to be pushing and pulling the quilt thru the small harp.
I am assuming you are using your Juki for quilting? How do you like it?
