I have a old cabinet the machine was probably from the 60's my husband made the cutout bigger. Installed a lift which is not really necessary buy nice. Also made the cutout to fit around the machine. My cabinet is very sturdy. Look at your local thrift stores .

Be sure and check like Goodwill or Salvation Army stores. I got one of those from a Salvation Army store for $ 15.00. Love it. It's really sturdy. Would like to have another one. Am keeping my eyes open. Good luck.

I got the gidget. Hated it. Doesn't have an insert (that I could find for my babylock which is irregularly shaped).

Sew EZ looks so much better and you can get an insert for several different machines (made based on the machine).

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 2 of these. Pd $50 for Lifetime brand and $20 for generic brand at Big Lots...basically same table. Just saw a bunch at Big Lots today. SAMS also carries different sizes of the Lifetime brand.
