This looks like the same setup I had years ago for doing upholstery

The table is fabulous. I have a pretty good set up but my machine is still about an 1 1/2 above the table top. To have a machine flush with the top and so much space to lay out a quilt is terrific. Great place to make curtains too.

I would agree that more than likely it will not work for quilting.

What are you piecing with and how big is the quilt?

Very nice table but where do you park your cars?

Maybe outside--More people in Alaska park their cars outside while their garages are full of snowmachines and 4-wheelers and junk. We park our cars indoors. Nothing like getting into a warm car and no snow or ice to remove. Or maybe this lady lives in warmer climes.

<<<<<<The commercial machines are geared much faster. One step on that pedal and you are in the next county. Watch your fingers or better yet, just let hubby use it.>>>>>>

I agree with Battle Axe.. It's your husband's machine, let him use it..Even my Juki TL98 scared the heck out of me, the first time I stepped on the pedal...

As long as you are doing a straight stitch it would be great for quilting. I am sorry I let my comercial machine go. Just try on a sample first.

Hurry!!! Go get your material and spread it out over the table and under the sewing machine!!!
Tell your husband...thanks for the great table and machine...love you. Will that work? Will he
get the hint you want a table like his also?

wouldn't work too good on quilting and fabric like we use. I have a Brother and put a larger pulley and belt and motor on it to slow it down. Now the table is awesome. I would like that in my new addition. My DH said I could get one added on this summer hopefully.
