    I have two sew perfect tables and I just love them. They are very sturdy, no shaking at all, are height adjustable and both my machines fit down inside with an insert that makes them even with the table. I have had both tables for several years and was well worth the investment. think they are the best value tables on the market.

    My foot pedal is up on a landscape block! And my table is an old, old kitchen table that I used to make bread with my Nana on 70 years ago!

    Hobbykat1955 - that's good to know! I seem to recall hearing others say their Gidgets bounced a bit when they were sewing at full speed. I didn't want to risk having that experience, so I went with the Sew Perfect table.

    I have the Quilt Professional II with the back extension. It was sent in multiple boxes and can be put together in place. Fortunately, I got mine right before a price increase when I contacted the company and spoke directly with the owner at the time. My machine is an Elna Carina from the mid-80s and the custom insert was just perfect. No table vibration with this setup (foot pads were extra) and was easy to adjust for my height when we put it together. Still looks as good as when it was purchased over 4 years ago.

    We have done this twice. I don't think you have to be very clever to do it, either. You can order online. You'll need a helper to get the top inside and to flip it over a few times to check the height and "levelness" of the legs, but that's about it.

    One thing that comes to mind for the foot pedal is a yoga block, which is hard foam about 4x5x10".
    I use stacked table pads under one table. It completely changes things for your back. The Juki has a big foot pedal, and I go with that height for the other foot, but you could go clear across. An old dvd player or receiver would be about right and unlikely to move on you.

    I totally agree with stitch 678. Save the money for more fabric and get someone to cut the legs on your existing table!!!!! Problem solved.
