Hi, this is my first time to ask a question.
With that said, I have been lurking in the shadows....soaking up the expertise of the folks that frequent this forum.
I am considering purchasing a "Sew Perfect" sewing table and would appreciate input to help me with this decision.

Welcome from Southern California. I don't know about the "Sew Perfect"table, is that the fold up- portable one? I do have a sewing desk that was made by the owner of my local fabric store. I love it, it is great to be able to sink the sewing machine into the cabinet to have a large flat surface for quilting.

Welcome from Missouri.
Sorry, I have no experience with the sewing table, so I'm no help there. :?

I have one called Sew Ezi, and I like it. I have it set up at right angles to my cabinet the my larger Bernina is in, so if that one is doing some embroidery, I can still use the older one. Plus I take it with me to workshops, as the machine sits down, level with the table, and I am more comfortable with that. I hate trying to sew with the machine up on a table, and I get back ache that way.

I use the dining room table so I'm not much help - sorry. Good luck though - i think anything is an improvement from a regular table, at least ergonomically speaking.

I have 5 folding tables set up in the basement sewing room as my work space, and the machine just sits on top of one of them. It would be really nice to have a table where the machine recesses down into it making a big flat surface though. Does the one you're looking at do that?

This table does have the cutout. I am considering the "original" design...the first one listed in the link I attached.
I appreciate all the comments.

Have you seen the Youtube video that shows how to make a quilting table? It would be a *lot* less expensive to do and I think would actually work better. Here is a link to the video:

They look nice to me. I just use a desk top for my machines.
