Sewing furniture

My wife and I love our Martelli tables. They are expensive, but if you're not in a hurry they have one or two half price sales every year.

Before we moved, I had a desk (40" x 60") that had been cut out to fit my machine with a board underneath to make the machine level with the top. I did not have the room here for that big a piece of furniture so I have the large Gidget table and it works. The desk was cool because I could fit my 24x36 cutting mat on it too.

I was going to suggest IKEA. There are tons of ideas on pinterest and on here to set up exactly what you need. A friend made me a table. Mine fits in a corner of my sewing room. Lots of space behind the machine for when I am FMQ. He needed a bridesmaid dress altered. I pretty much had to remake the whole dress. He made me my table in exchange. I am slowly adding IKEA pieces to it.

I went to Goodwill and bought a large desk with a side piece and believe it or not it is great. And the best the total 9.99. The top was scratched and yukky looking so I put some peel and stick floor tile and it works wonderful.

I bought from Tracey's Tables about 2 years ago. They delivered all the way to NM, brought it into the sewing room, set it up ( put on the drawer knobs...not a lot of setup!) and it's a great table. I really enjoy it. It's not cheap, but not nearly the price of the high-end tables.
I'd looked into Craigslist, but I have a large machine and most of the cutouts in existing tables won't fit it. Machine is a Brother VQ3000.

I made a sewing table using an IKEA table and love it. I got the basic directions off the internet and then modified it a bit to suit my machine. If you can use a jig saw (and I used a router to finish but you can do it without) an a screwdriver and wrench it is doable. My machine came with the acrylic extension. If yours doesn't have something like that then just cut the hole to go around the machine. Here's a link to the tutorial http://frommartawithlove.com/2012/10...able-tutorial/ Here's a picture of mine.

I just purchased this one on Amazon and I'm very pleased.

I found one online for $300. I love it. It has the shelf that recesses for making machine level with the table. It's manual not motorized. If that is not too much money I will look up the model for you and where I purchased for you.

Joann's carries a well rated table for $99 right now. http://www.joann.com/homespun-gidget...8.html#start=1 I don't own it, but I have looked at this one repeatedly.
