I want a table so the machine will be flush with the table. Have my newer machine sitting on top of old Kenmore cabinet, it has the extension thingy, but I just quilted a lap size quilt yesterday and it nearly killed me! Hurts my shoulders, back, and the quilt gets caught on the extension thing. I love that sewperfect table, but cant afford 400 dollars right now, think I'm gonna start looking around for something.
