Portable sewing table
#1
I've seen some beautiful sewing set ups but none with the portable sewing tables. Is anyone using them full time? How stable are they? I don't have much room and I want to have a table where I can adjust for my machine and have a level work surface. The cabinets that have that feature are probably $100 more and I don't know if I can trust the quality. I'm trying to keep this as cheap as possible so it doesn't eat up the what I've saved for a new quilting machine. Thanks for your help...Esther

I have a little plastic table I got from Wal-mart that folds flat and adjusts to three different heights. I take it to retreat with me or if I go somewhere outside my home to sew. I also set it up behind my regular sewing set up when I go to sew a binding on a bed size quilt to support he extra weight and keep it from dragging on the floor. I can also set it up in front of my chair to rest the quilt on when I am doing the hand finishing on the quilt binding while watching TV. I think I paid about $25 for it. Look in the section where they have the furniture for college kids or first apartments. It has a white plastic top and grey metal legs.

I have a Gidget that my Juki lives on and I love it. It's definitely sturdy - I have to add other tables around it if I'm quilting something big but if I'm using it for piecing, the Gidget it great! I think I paid $106 for it including the shipping.
