Which Gidget table? I or II?
I looked at the extension table that came with the machine - I can't get it exactly flush but can get it to line up in the Horn Cabinet with the pin that inserts into the machine. I'd be afraid of breaking the pin on the extension table.
I have mine inset into a Horn 2136 cabinet. I haven't adjusted the lift, just shimmed it as it is set for the 2170.
The cabinet is designed for the older smaller machines, so the opening isn't quite large enough - it's close but no cigar.
I have a 1/8" plexi surround. I usually have to move the surround so I can get to the bobbin from above.
It does have enough gap to need an insert.
Changing the bobbin can be a major pain, especially if you have a Supreme Slider on the machine and have to tape it since the underside is full of cat hair thanks to our fluffybutt feral.
