Big Lots carries the same 2' folding table for $20. I bought the Lifetime and then I found the one at Big Lots. Not the same brand but basically the same table. 1/3rd the price. Have my 15-91 sitting on it now although I did put a cushioned mat and small board under it. But it's not bouncing even with the heavy machine.

Since Sew EZ isn't in my budget I now use a small 2 ft x approx 18" Lifetime 3 height adjustable folding table. I take this when I am working at someone else's home. I actually have 2 of these so if I have a larger project I have extra room. I like the 3 heights available. Last I looked the office supply stores still sold them [Office Max, etc, ?Walmart?] and a friend found her tables at either Costco or Sam's Club. ali |
Very interesting!
I am going to check out our Big Lots - we have one left in town I believe and see if they carry that table. I went to a quilt store for a class and absolutely despised sewing on their tables so I don't want to take any more classes there :( If I had my own portable non machine taking off like a rocket table then I could actually sew without feeling like we're going to have liftoff... :D |
The Gidget II that I won earlier this month is portable and cuts down on a lot of the bounce that a folding table has. There's another chance to win one!

I have been following her "365 days of FMQ" for quite a while now; she does a new design each day on video, with pictures as well. http://www.freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/ |
thanks for all of the ideas on folding sewing tables

I dont seem to have the bounce on it like the larger tables get. Because the height is adjustable I can make it comfortable for me. |
Thanks for all of the Ideas on folding Sewing table.

How funny is this, I got my Love of Quilting magazine yesterday and it had this in it ....www.seweziusa.com.... for a protalble table. Not sue how much, didn't look into it yet.
