I have custom table tops for my Janome AQS and for my Pfaff 2.0 expression. It makes a tremendous difference in my sewing for both the fabrics and my lower back. I recommend highly. And when you attend workshops/classes, it's a must. With limited working space this is a great space saver. I keep all my strips under the acrylic to bring up as I need them. You can also have a finished block under neath to help remind you of what you are putting together. And for a number of reasons and uses. My acrylic tops pack nicely into the totes for each machine, just be sure to cover it with batting or bubble wrap. The surface can be scratched up easily. So be careful but get one. You will love it.
