What size Sew Steady do you use?
Connecting Threads has the 18x24 on sale for $89....is there a big benefit to getting the larger one? I read some older threads here, and it seems some are unhappy using it to FMQ? I have a small extension table that came with my machine, but the sew steady looks nice!

I saw one on sale on MSQC but I thought they were too expensive. I have never had a problem but I have always had good support for the quilt when quilting.

That's really good price these days! I love my 18 x 24" but have a unique set up so lots of room around my machine.

I saved a link at home with some very good pricing on the sew steady. I thought that price was high, I'll try to post the link tonight after work. My advice keep shopping.

This is a link about what size table you should consider. It's one person's opinion, but she makes a lot of sense and speaks from experience. As a new free motion quilter, I enjoyed all 4 of her YouTube videos. So watch the whole series if that interests you. This is the forth video in the series. She starts talking about the table in detail about the 8 minute, 10 second mark - if you just want to get to the point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DmW-1L9Ua0
Sometimes my memory isn't perfect, but this time, I remembered correctly. While I haven't done business with this place before, this is the best price that I found on a Sew Steady table: $40 for an 18 X 24" table. http://www.voguefabricsstore.com/Sewing-Machine-Extension-Table-18-x-24.html |
Thank you for the pic and the links!
I Have viewed Patsy's videos before, but did not remember her addressing the extension table issue. The Vogue fabric shop looks great! I am always looking for garment fabric, so that's an added bonus! This board has the best members....always willing to help! Thanks again! |
I have the larger one and couldn't do without it. It even fits on my new gidget Ii table. It is a shame that the sewing machine makers do not include an extension table with the machines. I bought a singer at Walmart 10+ years ago and that cheapie came with a table. At the time I did not realize what a plus that was. Go ahead and put the table on your Christmas list. You deserve it!

I have the 18 x24 and cannot imagine sewing without it.
