Hi all,
I have a love-hate relationship with this table. It's the one featured in Nancy's Notions that folds up. I got it from AllBrands, disregarding the no-return policy because of course, I was going to love it.
My machine bounces like crazy on it. I have a DC3050 Janome and am using the medium speed. I do have a towel under the machine to help raise it up to the height of the table. (It's sunk into the hole). There is space around the hole -at least an inch or two- not sure if this is part of the problem but I'd be willing to pay someone to make an insert if it would help.
I decided to look up one of those super tables Tony's Sewing Center sells at quilt shows and out of their Maine store but they are $499 and up. A little rich for my blood.
So, hopefully, someone here has some suggestions. It doesn't help that I volunteered to make 50 drawstring bags for a school event on this coming Tuesday so it's particularly aggravating me.
Thanks in advance,

I have one but have yet to use a machine on it.
After reading your comments, I'm going to try it out tomorrow.
I bought it several months ago, so returning it no longer an option. It'll be a lesson learned if I have the same trouble as you.

Let me know, Golly, what you think. I guess I can always use it on the top of the table.

I bought something, not a table, from Allbrands and they sent the wrong item. It took 3 months for them to send a return athorization. It was for a Christmas present and I ended up getting a replacement in March. So I will not ever buy anything from Allbrands again.

will do
I have a fabric sale from my home this weekend, will set it up on Monday.
If it does what yours does, maybe together we can figure something out.

Thanks!

I have that table, have you adjusted the screw on the bottom to bring the table up to the level it should be? Maybe use something besides a towel if you still need a little more height after you have adjusted it, i have a couple rectangles of batting. Here is a video from Leah Day that might help.

Thank you Lisa,
I'm on my way to the relatives for an overnight visit soon but will check that out when I return.

Also if you are still having trouble, call the arrow company, i have found they have excellent customer service! Maybe they could help somehow.

Lisa- that was great advice!
I emailed the company and received a detailed, lengthy email from Alisha, one of the customer service reps. Long story short, one of the legs was not clicked all the way into a black support piece. I still need to adjust the platform but it's already working so much better. Like night and day.
She also suggested using one of those plastic office chair mats under your table if you are on carpet and placing a thick shelf liner under the machine. I'm on wood so that's not an issue but I am going to try the shelf liner.
I just couldn't understand all of the positive reviews before, knew something had to be wrong.
Thanks for all of your help/sympathy,

Glad to hear they were able to help! I have to admit i was amazed myself at their wonderful customer service, its so rare to find these days.
