I've been thinking about buying a large (24x24) acrylic sewing table for my one machine but wondered if any of you have one, do you like it, and is it worth the $100 price tag?

I have one for each of both my machines. I love the tables. I don't use it as much at home since I bought a desk that my machine sinks into but still use it when I take the machine out to other places. It is a nice table for quilting. It also makes a great "light box" just place a light bulb under the acrylic and you have a lite table.

where did you find your table at?

I have one and I absolutely love it, for all the reasons mentioned above.

Here is where I found mine: http://www.sewingmates.com/

It is adjustable so that it will fit all my machines. Granted, they are expensive, but I think it's been worth every penny.

I have one for my Janome. I like it a lot.

Couldn't live without mine!

I bought one for my Elna, for large tops it is great. My problem is I forget about using it:(

YES!!!

I have one for my Pfaff and could not believe how much my overall quilting improved (1/4" seams, appliqué, and FMQ).

The extra room really provides the support that is often needed to get the best results.

By the way, I bought mine off eBay.

I ordered one of these tables from a sewing center on July 25. I was told it would take 2 weeks because it was a "custom" order. All of these tables are considered "custom". Today almost 1 month later I still do not have it. Trust me I call a couple of times each week. Last week I was told it is being "cut" and I should have it shortly. I will never order anything from this sewing center again. You can order them on line with faster service. I'm stuck in limbo on my order. I have a feeling it is just "sitting" somewhere. I'm sure I'm considered an annoying customer. Even when it gets here, I have to travel to pick it up. Yep, I'm annoyed. I want my table.

When I made a sewing table, I bought an acrylic insert for it. The company was very good to work with, and many years later I still love it. They also make the tables with legs that you are asking about. I had one of them for a Janome I had for a while, and liked sewing on it. The extra room was great. http://stores.homestead.com/DreamWorld/StoreFront.bok

I got one when I bought a new machine 5 or 6 years ago. Came from my LQS and they were having a special so I don't know what it would have cost by itself. I used it every time I sewed for several years. I had DH figure out how to lower my table so I wasn't reaching up to work on the nice wide work area. It worked great and the only problem I had was after about 3 years a leg broke and it was expensive to replace.

Last year (for Christmas) I got a sewing table and that's even better, but way more expensive.

I bought one from AllBrands a couple of months ago. Cost under $70. I am still tryinbg to get used to it. I have a Viking D 1.

I used an acrylic table for years before I got my Horn Quilter's Cabinet. Mine was by Sewsteady.

I have one for my Pfaff 2144 and I love it.....especially when I am machine quiting.

I have one for my Pfaffs. It was made for one, but fits the other OK. I love it.

Yes absolutely they are worth it. They are expensive, but they make such a difference. I take mine to classes and retreats. Well worth the money.

I have one for my Pfaff, and I don't know what I would do without it!! :thumbup:

I have one called a P.E.T. and love it. It has legs that are adjustable, storage space inside the compartment. Can be used as a light table. Tried to find one for my friend recently and can't.But I would sure recommend the additional work space a table gives you. It is a real help!

my latedh made one for my machine out of 1/4"plywood,cut a closet rod for legs.it is 24"from the left of the machine & 19" across[deep] i covered it in contact paperwhich makes it really slick so don't need asilicone slider.it really works great ![& costs next to nothing}

I was really lucky to find an old desk that had a hole in it....yep my machine sits perfect in that hole...I had to adjust the height with a phone book but I only paid 15.00 for the desk...and have a lot of room the same height as my machine...I do have photo's on here some where...you would have to go to my list of things or something like that...:-) good luck in your decision...:-)

I have a few and they are fabulous to have. DH is making me another. I have a friend who made her own from countertop!

My son made mine for me and I put it side by side to a manufactured one. Mine was better,it fits my machine perfectly and I love it. The price was lovely too. lol In my area they sell for close to 200 dollars and I think with the screws and wooden legs that will screw to adjust the hieght cost my son maybe 20 or so dollars sto make.

After years of procrastinating about the cost($100)of the extension table for my machine, last week I asked my husband to make me one -- custom fit to my specs and $15 later it's wonderful!

I ordered one for my Featherweight years ago. I think I have used it twice :roll:

I have a right handed "Galant" desk from Ikea. I use it backwards and it is large enough to hold my quilts when I am doing a large one. I bought it used for $150, it's the best sewing table I have ever had and I've tried a few over the years.

I love mine. It was well worth the money. If you order, you need to give the make and model of your machine.

I have the large 24 x 24 and LOVE it. It keeps quilts flat when I machine quilt, but it also doubles your workspace as you have the acrylic surface, AND the tabletop surface underneath.

My hubby made my extension tables for both my machines, Elna & Quantam 5000 & I really don;t know what I would do without them. It really gives so much more space for quilting & even piecing. If you have to buy one it is worth the money

I got mine from Allbrands.com. Great service too.

Yes they are worth it. They extend the flat sewing surface and the blocks, quilts don't fall over the edge. Machine quilting is much better with more flat surface. There are several companies that make them. Shop around. On the other hand if you have someone in the household who is handy with tools, a similar thing could be made of plywood with legs. I have seen the home made ones in classes and they work fine and much less expensive.

I have one for my Pfaff and also have one for my Viking. I feel that they are worth every penny spent on them. If you do FMQ, you will be amazed at how it improves it.

I have one for my Pfaff. I really like it, it makes a difference.

I love my tables !! I have one for my Singer and one for my Brother. Not only is it useful for sewing it's great to put a silver ware divider under it with my favorite tools in it so I can find them easily. They are exposed but out of the way.

I have two of these for my Bernina machine and would not quilt without them on it makes things much easier .

I have one for each of my machines and used them all the time until I had the opportunity to purchase a sewing machine table that the machines drop down into. I think they are well worth the money.

I have one that came with my Janome Quilter's Edition machine about 13 or 14 years ago & I absolutely love it! It was normally $80 at that time. I would love to have a cabinet, but this is the next best alternative, in my opinion.

I debated at a quilt show, they were offering free shipping but didn't bite and wish I had for retreats... :roll:

I have one for my Janome as well and it's made all the difference to me. I paid in the $80 range at my LQS.

i have one for each of my machines i use all the time, and i love them. it helps to keep the weight of the project from pulling, so i get a good seam.

oh, what a great idea. i am going to pass this on to my quilt group. thanks.
