Sew Perfect Table - do you have one?
 
Does anyone have a "Sew Perfect Table"? It looks like a really nice sturdy table. You can also get a side extension table, rear extension table, and other accesories. Kind of expensive. If you have one, how do you like it? Sturdy and no vibrations? Easy to adjust height? Have you ever seen it at a quilt show?

Never seen this sewing table. I have a sewezi table I love and take to retreats. Comes with a case and has wheels so it's easy to move.

I have never seen these either but they look good and sturdy, the only thing I would like them to be bigger in length, I need a big table.

Does anyone else know anything about this Sew Perfect Table? If not, what is your sewing set up and what other tables are out there? Yayaquilts has the sewezi, so I am checking that out also.

I recently got this table from www.epicofficefurniture.com . It is 30 inches by 60 inches with a drop shelf on the right hand side (you must call to specify shelf position) , which gives you lots of table space for quilting and cutting.

Here's a link to the thread I posted

I haven't seen the table before. Thanks for the link.

Looks like a nice table. I maybe be looking for a table in the future. Right now I am very confortable with my current tables.

My mom just got that table from Epic Office furniture. I think it'll be good, if we can ever get it together. The screws they sent are too big to attach the modesty panel (which connects the legs together for stability). I'm concerned that the short screws aren't sufficient to keep the top and legs stable over time with the vibration of the machine. We'll see... I'm also thinking about a SewPerfect table for my heavy (40lbs) machine, so I'd love to hear from owners about stability, vibration, ease of assembly, quality (any rough edges?), etc.

QuiltingVagabond 11-15-2011 08:06 AM

My husband didn't say anything about the screws that came with mine and he's usually pretty picky about stuff like that.
So far my table is performing perfectly and does not vibrate at all - it is very sturdy (and heavy).

My Epic Office table is working beautifully. Our son put it together for me with his electric screwdriver.

I was able to purchase Epic table right on-line. There was a box to click to specify right-hand drop. I made sure on my final order sheet that it was correct before I clicked. It arrived as specified and I love it.

Oh good to know Polly! The CS girl I ordered from probably fixed that because she tried to do it online and realized there was no box for that feature.

I don't have the sew perfect but checked out reviews, and this lady gives quite a good comparison on her blog. http://lulubloom.wordpress.com/2011/06/23/ergonomics/

Is the Epic Office table height adjustable?

QuiltingVagabond 11-15-2011 03:13 PM

No, it's not height adjustable - it is 29 inches high I think, mine sits on carpet so it is kinda hard to measure.

BellaBoo 11-15-2011 03:30 PM

I bought one some years ago when I saw the tables at a quilt show. It has paid for itself many times over. It fits in my car trunk and stays there so I always have my own sewing space handy.

Carron 11-15-2011 04:07 PM

That would be handy if the hubby doesn't take it over for his tools and such.

Denise S 11-16-2011 03:21 PM

Do you all have adjustable chairs to help get a more comfortable sewing position?

It'sJustMe 11-16-2011 04:57 PM

Those sure look like the industrial ones our sample makers had at Jones New York. They are sturdy and heavy - no vibrations. But if I were to choose I'd go for the Epic Office table.

I have an Arrow 601 Gidget sewing table. It's about 20x40 inches and very sturdy. it has an adjustable cut out for the machine to set into. I paid $110 including shipping. I have two of them, one for my Janome 6500 and one for my Babylock Decorator's Choice. My husband had to cut the holes a bit larger for these two slightly over sized machines.

Modifying Gidget I table for Janome 6600 (ATTN Wintersewer!)
 
Back in 2011, Wintersewer said that her husband had cut the hole in the Gidget I sewing table so that it would fit the slightly larger Janome 6500 -- Wintersewer, if you see this, can you elaborate on how he accomplished this?! Thanks! -- Helen (new to group)

Wintersewer 11-03-2013 05:59 PM

Wintersewer here! He put masking tape on the table and drew the line he wanted to cut. He only had to cut the end as the hole was wide enough. Then he used a jigsaw to enlarge the hole. It only took a few minutes.

Yes, I also have a Sew Perfect table. I've had it for about 5 yrs. or so. I just ordered the back extension table to attach for my serger. I wanted to make sure that the ext. wouldn't vibrate when I ran the serger on it. The store's owner said it shouldn't so I'm taking his word on it. But I really love the table, it's very heavy, doesn't vibrate or shake at all when I run my sewing machine and very comfortable to sew on. Have fun with whichever table you decide on.

Looks like a nice sturdy table. I have never seen one before. I have a SEWZI also but that is made to be portable so not really comparable.

Those are Industrial Sewing machine tables, that are having there tops altered to fit domestic machines. The tables are rock solid as they are designed to keep high speed machines, that are solid metal and heavy from vibrating through the floor, I have one for my industrial machine.

I think they are overpriced, industrial machines tables can often be found free or at very low cost, just start looking on your local craigslist. If you are handy at all it would be super easy to cut the top to fit your machine.

Sewnoma 01-13-2014 05:03 PM

I have one! I bought it about six months ago and I LOVE it. I have the J table and my Janome 6600 fits perfectly.

It happens to be nearly identical to the table my grandmother's industrial Singer is installed in, a table that is probably from the 60's. Except hers is a funky green. :)

This table is a serious piece of furniture. Solid as a rock. I am not a light person and I have stood on this table and it doesn't move a bit. If I ever move I will disassemble it first because it is HEAVY!!

Assembles very easily, I put it together in just a few minutes. The height of the shelf that the machine fits on is infinitely adjustable via very long screws so I was able to precisely line up my machine bed with the table top. The top itself is also adjustable but not infinitely adjustable; there are several different heights it can be set to. I was able to set it to exactly the height I wanted so I got lucky there.

Not cheap and not portable, but it's extremely sturdy and that's just what I was looking for. I was tired of the "bounce" from the table I was using at the time (long Ikea table). Shipping was fast, it came with easy-to-read assembly instructions, and nothing was missing.

Only thing I can think of as a drawback is if your machine had a free arm I don't know how you'd ever use that part of the machine with this table. But the Janome 6600 doesn't have a free arm so that's not a worry for me.
