I am back from vacation now but still doing laundry and cleanup, so no sewing yet.
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions, advice and experiences, I appreciate the info!
I did get the stitch regulator, but I hope I can become consistent enough to sew without it eventually.
The table is bigger than it looks but folds down to a very manageable 28" x 36". Open is 5' x 3' and the doors support the side extensions. A smooth plastic overlay covers the seams of the extensions. When the doors are open, there is dead space about 20" square behind the open doors, so I am going to look for some storage units to fit.
The builtin storage is minimal, there are 6 small swing-out plastic bins to hold small things.
Also came with a bobbin winder.
I need to pull out a UFO for my first practice session! I will try to post some pictures of my learning process.
