This group was at the Road2Ca quilt show, this week. There tables were reasonable and really nice. Here is the link.

There is also a video with Eleanor Burns and her sons making a custom table. It seems pretty "do" able. Check out her web site.

I just purchased a new Pfaff Quilt Expressions 4.0 to replace a Babylock Ellageo which I had just purchased an extension table for and I decided to see what the difference was in the table fitting my new machine. There is very little difference in the size and fitting so I am going to use it on the new machine. Maybe I will get hubby to file it down just a little on the inside but that would be all it would take. Lucky me. I use the Sew Slip sheet on top of it anyway for FMQ and so it covers the small opening that is left.

where did you get a rolling tote for your extension table. I want to take mine to class too. Thanks.

Hubby went and bought Plexiglas, 18"x 24", used the legs from the previous one and I am again a happy sewer.....he did need an additional leg so he used a coat hanging peg..and applied a screw to it.........about $30.00 Below are the pics of his accomplishment.....he's a keeper....

I order mine from allbrands.com. Seems to have best prices and free shipping

Leah Day did a couple of videos detailing how she made an extension table that fit around her machine - and a few other ideas, too. Love the way she thinks -- why spend loads of $$ when you can make it yourself? Just type in "Leah Day sewing table" and you'll find the videos on YouTube.
