Lots of pretty stuff posted this weekend. Praying for QNS and Isa. Also praying for warmer weather for us all!
I didn't end up getting any sewing done Friday or Saturday. Friday I got errands done in town and then met my mom for lunch. Then when DH got home we watched a movie. Saturday I ended up going to Dubuque (abt an hr away) with a friend for most of the day. She had a card class to teach that I helped with and then we got lunch and went to Hobby Lobby. I was able to sell lots of my card making/scrapbook stuff so that was exciting. With the money from that and my birthday money I am more than half way to having money for a new sewing table for my new big machine.
I have 3 different tables I am looking at...
the Janome table made for my machine

the "Sew Perfect Table"

a computer table with a drop shelf...I can get the drop shelf on the right so I have more room on the left for my quilt. It is the deepest of the three tables and has three length options.

Right now I am using a folding computer table with a drop shelf that we got for my DD's sewing machine last summer from a garage sale. My new machine is too heavy to use it long term (it is already starting to bow if I keep the machine on it all the time), so that is why I am looking for something sturdier. I am reposting the picture of my machine so you can see how it fits on the shelf.
I like the size, sturdiness, and price of the computer table best, but need to ask those of you who free motion quilt...am I going to want more "table" on the front of my machine (the part closest to me)? This thread shows the table with a machine on it w/extension table too...pg 2 has a pic w/out the runner. I have practices (very little) with FMQ, so not sure what I will want/need.
I am reposting the picture of my machine so you can see how it fits on the shelf. I haven't actually measured to see if the shelf on the two computer tables is the same, but I am guessing they're pretty close.
