That looks great! If you use several machines then that is the way to go!

Hi Candace, We hope to start vending at shows in the future but we aren't scheduled for any at this time. I'm curious to know what kind of problems your friend had with her current table. I hope she'll inquire at [email protected] I'd be happy to answer any questions she has. Some people are concerned about the stability of the table, our tables will snug-up to give a close fit on any machine, they are sturdy and won't wobble. If the table doesn't fit properly we want to know because there are ways to fix that, usually a table will fit best around the freearm, but sometimes the best fit is obtained by leaving the accessory box attached, and rarely a custom part may be necessary. The all-metal legs will never break or fall off, they have fast, positive and repeatable height adjustments from 2-1/2" to 4-1/2" tall to fit every machine from a very short Featherweight to a tall embroidery machine or serger. The same table will fit a Janome Gem perfectly, and easily adjust to fit a Viking Designer, it will fit the old Bernina 830 sport, as well as the new Bernina 830. I can say this because we've sold hundreds of tables for all of these machines and we've never had a customer report that it didn't fit. We receive wonderful positive feedback every day to assure us that the tables do fit every portable sewing machine. The other custom tables on the market do have their advantages if you plan to use only one machine, but the versatility and quality of a Sew AdjusTable can't be matched, and we make it very easy to get your money back if you are not satisfied (including US shipping). Thanks for your response! I would love to see you at a show someday. Oh, and the other question most people ask... is the table top smooth with nothing sticking up to catch on the fabric? Yes! The pictures are deceiving but the top is perfectly smooth.

Barb, thanks so much for your post. My friend's main complaint is the edging to her table catches on fabric. Her last one was beveled and smooth so that quilts and fabric ran over the edge fine. Her current table edge is rough, square and catches the fabric. The acrylic surface is fine, it's the edges that are the problems. That, and the legs of the table are starting to break off and can't be glued back on.

What are the edges of the table you make like? Is there a photo on the net that shows a close up of the edges?

The Sewingmate tables are a good buy. DH can make one for me but after pricing the supplies said he couldn't make one for that price.

Candace, We hand fire-polish all of the edges of our tables so they are smooth and the corners are rounded. There is a photo on the home page of our website which I hope to attach here to show a close up of the table edge. We don't use beveled edges because they create a corner along the edge, we use a full round over instead. The photo doesn't appear to be saving, I'll send this and try again if it isn't attached.

Candace, the photo insert isn't working for me. If you click on www.sewingmates.com and scroll down the page you'll see a photo on the right side showing the front corner of a table. It also shows the leg which has non-skid, non-scratch rubber feet and is grooved in 1/8" increments for height adjustments. The other photo on the left shows how all of the tables will convert to L-shape to fit an extra wide machine. I love your questions!

For you-do-it-yourselfers out there who are very good at finding ways to save money, sewingmates.com is going to offer our quality adjustable table-tops for a low price and you can add your own legs, or purchase an inexpensive dowel and foot from us which you would cut to size. Does this sound like a good option? For an even lower price, we will offer an acrylic blank with holes drilled for legs and a slot for the machine, you or DH can finish the cut-out to fit your machine and add legs of your choice. The edges of the blank would have our quality finishing with rounded corners and polished edges to provide a smooth surface for your fabric.
Our original heavy-duty adjustable legs add a significant cost to the tables because of the special manufacturing process but they could be purchased and added at any time to the adjustable table-tops.
I'm interested in feedback if you have any comments. We would love for everyone to enjoy the advantage of an extension table and see what a difference it makes!

I made one and just measured fat dowels that I cut. Slide it on slide the dowels under and poof.
