I have an extension table for my Bernina. I got the 24 x 24 size from Dream world. It is wonderful. Then DH gave me a sewing cabinet for Mother's day a couple years ago and my machine sinks into the cabinet. Wonderful!!! I still use my extension table when I take my machine each month to the UFO night at my church. Love the table!!!

I purchased one of the acrilic ones and I love it. The nice thing about it is that I can store lots of things under it and still be able to see them. I took it to my retreat several years ago and broke it. Luckily my husband the machineist was able to replace the clear surface with another piece from his work. The legs from the original fit it just fine. When you order them they ask you which machine you have and they make it to fit that machine. Mine is for a Bernina. I also purchased another extension like table that is made of white plastic for my emboridery machine. It helps greatly when I am working on a project that hangs all over the place like a shirt, tablecloth, quilt top etc. That came from Nancy's Notions. Again you tell them what machine you have.

I have one I used when I did freemotion on my domestic, now I forget about most of the time.
It is really useful and I don't reget spending the $ 8 - 10 years ago.

i went and got got the plexiglass from home depot..made a paper template on the machine,where the insert goes, and DH cut the piece out. total cost? under $20.00 bucks. 250 gauge(1/2 inch thick) 18 x 24. i got the legs from home depot also..they screwed in, and are adjustable..i can take a picture if you would like. I have it for my janome jem..my other janome is in the sewing table.

You can do the same thing with wood..you would need to sand and clear coat it to make it smooth, so the fabric won't snag.

It is a big improvement when sewing, and especially when quilting..

I have one for my backup Pfaff and I almost went nuts coz I couldn't find it. I use it particularly for the quilting and I set the ironing board at the end of the table to hold up the rest of the relatively heavy quilt. Wish I had a drop down - but I don't.

Here's the link to the place I bought mine http://sewingmates.com/index.asp. I bought the smallest one for $36. I like it and use it most of the time. There are times that the quilt will kind of hang up on the corner and moves it. I also made myself a "table" http://sewingmates.com/index.asp, which I use in addition to the acrylic one, I wedge it in between the boxes. I already had the acrylic one when I discovered the thread for the home-made one. I couldn't get the right size foam boards, so I used boxes (free from post office).

I think you need to take the punctuation marks off at the end.

MadQuilter was right, for some reason, it picked up the punctuation. These should work.
