Is your Safco table set up on a carpet, per chance? Mine is, and does vibrate slightly at high speeds. I'm wondering if it's the carpet that might be causing the vibration?

Thanks,

No carpet. And I do get a bit of vibration, especially when I start sewing a bit faster. Like I posted, I did do some free motion quilting on it last week, I don't know if I just got used to it or what, but just a small vibration. I am concerned that the screws underneath will start to loosen. I put my hand there every so often, just making sure, I guess. My hubby is going to still do something to reinforce it for me, but till then, I will use it when needed. I do have other machines on other tables. soooooooooooo.. As I stated earlier, I did write to Harriet Hargrave, last Thursday, no reply as yet.
I just called the Harriet's Treadle Arts, her shop in Wheatridge, CO to inquire about this vibrating. I was told that "Harriet was there this morning...", so she will have her daughter Carrie return my call this evening. How exciting is that? :thumbup:

As soon as I get my response, I'll let you all know. :D
