That is such a great idea! I might try this. I am too cheap to pay $80 for the one that goes with my machine. Thank you for posting this.

Lynn2354--Have you cut the hole to fit the feed dogs? I have a Designer I also, so I am really curious on how you feel this works for you! Maybe it would work for me too.

Sure wish I'd seen this a month ago. I ordered a steady table to go with my new machine. They said they had to "order it as a custom". It has been 28 days and it still isn't here.
Yep, I'm annoyed. Thank you for sharing how you did it.

I also have a Designer 1, and an SE which is my fav. :D (I also have a really great hubby who buys me these great machines) I have the extension table that was included with the Quilter's kit years ago and I love it. Luckily it fits on both machines. The Mylar sheet is a great idea. I have the teflon matt with the hole for the needle and it works well. I wish I could make my free motion work as well. :? You found a great deal! You must have a better JAF store than we do. Good luck!

so glad you got it at a great price
luckily, my new machine *(on sale only 139.00 came with one)
Great idea! I love inventive people!

I got mine from the manufacturer for just $65.00! Template plastic is a great idea for making a single hole plate if you can cut for feed dogs and seeing as I'm going to get my new machine I may be able to get my old extension table to fit!

I did when I ordered it from the LQS and couldn't even get a ship date after 3 weeks!

Hi Fox,
I used this last night and I am very pleased with it. I did end up cutting a square hole that exposed the feed dogs. The opening is approximately 1½" square, so it extends far enough to see the marks for stitching lines.
I am VERY pleased with this purchase!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
I looked at Jo-Ann's web site and they carry the smaller tablle, however I am not seeing the larger one.
Here is a link though where the large one can be purchased.
