I was thinking about getting this sewing table.

Does anybody have this one? How does it hold up? Right now i am just using a regular folding type table (lifetime) and a computer chair but i am having some shoulder issues. Do you think it makes a big difference having your sewing machine level?

Thanks for you help!

I have to chuckle and tell you I sew on a TV Tray.

Let me tell you...right now, I'm sewing on our kitchen table, which under normal circumstances wouldn't be too bad...however, our kitchen table is a "Pub" style table so it is higher up than a normal table....feet don't touch the floor, therefore foot can't reach the footpedal...soooo, footpedal is on the table and I'm using one hand to work footpedal and other hand to guide....will be getting regular table this weekend LOL :)

Lol. I use 2 TV trays pushed together as my cutting table.

I have an old sewing cabinet that I set my machine on. Haven't figured out anything yet to set it in the cabinet. But one day I will.

Lisa, Mine is just like the one in the picture, but from Horn. I found it at a park and swap for 25 bucks several years ago. As far as I am concerned it is worth 3 times that! I can raise the 'bed' up level and use the embroidery unit or serger on that table. It is so much easier with the 'flat' surface for any quilting, less drag and catching of quilt because no sewing machine corners.

Just make sure you get the insert for your machine. It's the piece that fits around your machine and completes the 'flat' surface.

I'm not seeing in the description that the "insert" or the piece that fills in the whole around "your" particular machine is included. I would call & ask as different machines need different inserts. If it is included, price is well worth it.

After looking at your website link an ad then apeared on QB for a 10% discount for the same company. Make sure you get a discount if your make a purchase.

LOL! I could NEVER be that coordinated in a million years! :mrgreen:

I sew on a kitchen table that I inherited from my Granny, who passed away earlier this year. It's in my sewing room.

I have one like it,,nice table.....and sturdy!

This is a nice table - it is similar (maybe the same) as the one offered by Leah Day on her site. I used a table similar to this in the past.

I'm currently using two of those Lifetime tables bought at a local Sam's Club. I like them better because I need to have my table very low in order not to have back problems.

i have a sewing machine table ,but i like the 6 foot plastic one you can buy at sams or wall mart you have more room for your quilts

I love the Arrow sewing tables, but some are too expensive. Envy you ladies who are staying in US as you have so many choices. I don't think I can ever find someone selling similar sewing tables here in Singapore. :( If I were to ship it over, it will cost me a bomb!

I'm currently sewing in my study using a normal study desk. Space is very limited but I try to make the best out of it.

Yeah, i was wondering about the insert, i don't think this model has a insert option. They have a bigger one like this and i think it does have a option for the insert, i am not sure if its for my machine or not, mine is just a small machine. Wonder if you can just cut a insert yourself out of plexi?

I purchased my sewing cabinet back in 1996 from a Bernina dealer. There was a wooden insert which did not fit my machine, but they supplied a plactic one to fit my Viking Rose. There is a lip around the outer edges to hold it in place, so I think you need to be able to cut the plastic insert with some means of holding it in place.

Ask if this dealer has the service for providing the right size insert.

I bought the inexpensive rolling sewing table at JoAnn's a few years ago...With a great chair from Staples that I just need to raise up a bit, it is right height! I put my foot peddle on the little shelf that is inside my table - it is up off the floor a few inches so it is just the right height with my chair raised up...
Think it was $49 on sale... It has sides that you can raise up and I leave them up and have a rolling cart under each side.
One on my right side has my sewing machine supplies and other has my embroidery machine supplies...
Has been the best 50$ spent!

I purchased a used sew cabinet that has a drop down shelf. It does not adjust for height except for down or up level. My DH made a wooden insert for me that fits around my sewing machine to fill in the space around my machine. Works great.

Thanks for all the help! I ordered it from walmart, they had it for $109.99 and if it happens i hate it when i get it home i can take it back, but I think I will like it.

Thanks again!

Sorry, I saw this too late to help you with your decision.
I have it. I hated using it on carpet but now have it set up in a different room without carpet and it seems much better. I did put a folded up towel under the machine (to raise my machine to the proper level) when I lowered it into the cutout. It does vibrate a bit when I have my Janome on high speed but I seldom sew that fast anyway.
I have a plexi table that I am going to try to set on the top with some nonslip shelf material under it so that I don't have to get an insert.
lots2do

i had that table brought it on ebay, not very strong save your money and buy a better one ,i used my for awhile and gave it away

I did see a video on youtube that says you can adjust this table to the proper height for your sewing machine.

Here it is:

YES, it will make a huge difference in your shoulders. I often bring my table like this to retreats (if there's room) because I will have shoulder problems if I sew on a normal 30" tall table. This table's surface is probably 30", but since your machine drops down, the machine bed will be at the right height for you.

Can't say how this model will hold up, mine is made by Horn. It's heavy and sturdy and I expect it to last a long time. I paid about the same price for mine 4 years ago.

I have this table and love it. I use it with my Bernina so I can easily adjust to height for sewing/quilting or embroidery. Highly recommend it.
