I have never seen one of these but I will definitely be on the outlook for one in the future. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Great find! I have three with my Berninas on them in my bedroom. I love them. Two, I purchased in 1979 with two new
830 Records. The third one was given to me by a friend and I use it for a newer 1005 Bernina. I make lots of charity quilts. I piece with my personal best 830 Record and then go to the 1005 where I have my walking foot to finish the quilt. The other machine is used to take to meetings or other sewing I am doing. The folding tables are wonderful and don't take up much room. I have used them for over 30 years and couldn't do without them. I never thought of folding one up and taking it to class. That would be an option if necessary, but so far, I haven't done that.

I used bed risers from Bed Bath and Beyond to raise my table legs.

I have exactly this very table - it was my mom's purchase well over 40 years ago from the J.C. Penney catalogue. I use it daily and would NEVER part with it! I seem to remember my mom paying around $40 for it brand new - you have a treasure there!! Enjoy!!

A few of the ladies in my guild are green with envy over it. I can not tell you how happy I am to have bought it. I'm still trying to figure out how to use it all the time in my craft room. I'll figure it out - or just cut a hole and make a recessed sewing table for my Juki. I'm going to have to do some serious furniture rearranging in here. I've got a wall of super sturdy table desks. This sewing table is just a bit too short in depth to fit as is but I've got a few ideas and tricks up my sleeves to make it work. My Juki fits in this table perfectly too - I was worried that it wouldn't considering it is a 9" throat machine but it fits almost as if it was made for it. It's like my sewing machine has its own personal bed to snuggle up in

I've had my table since my Mom gave me her sewing machine and the table way back in the late 70's! It has out lasted at least 3 machines and 5 moves. It's here to stay and I love it!
