I have the same machine- absolutely LOVE it! I also built my own sewing table using a kitchen table as a base-
|
Ooh, ooh, me, me!! PM me the how to please? I am starved for room! What a fabulous idea!!
|
He deserves a GOLD STAR !!!!! Brilliant man.
|
Great looking table. Wishing you many happy hours of quilting.
|
REally nice. I had the same thing done for my Brother PQ1500s (Juki clone), but I had the handyman cut the opening big enough so the extension table fits in it. I couldn't figure out how I was going to access the bobbin area without the extra opening the extension table has. I guess my fat fingers just don't fit in the tiny space that would have been left had I not used the extension table.
|
That is great. I guess your hubby is a keeper! LOL
|
My DH did the same thing with my sewing machine. Don't you just love them being so handy
|
Wonderful, lucky you
|
I too would love to know how it's done. as you say specialist tables cost the earth! Thank you. anngi
|
you have a great setup.......

And let me tell you even small sewing tables cost an arm and a leg and are not all that sturdy!, so I changed my search to Craigslist, and after a little design brainstorm with my hubby he said yeah find a wood table and I can do it. Well 30 bucks later I did. A big kitchen table! I love it!! Especially for fmq! Table Space is essential for me so this is perfect! Anyone wants to know how we did it just let me know! Happy stitching everyone!!

Great job.....Let us all know how he made it....
|
The how too is on the second page of this thread! And yeah custom tables are pretty spendy but mostly what we found is that they just wobble way too much I wanted a brick house sewing table!! Lol

Yes please..I would really like to know how you did it...thanks...
|
A wonderful result - you and your DH did a great job!
|
I have one made by husband about 17 years ago. Love it.
|
I love it.
Be sure to THANK him. |
So, what did you do to hold up the machine after you put a hole in the table? is there just another board under that's screwed in?
|
Thank your sweet husband for the instructions. Lucky to have a such a handy husband. I have the same kind of table that I am sewing on, like you I love the large space. Also found mine on cragslist. Now to get my sweet husband to make a it into a sewing table. :thumbup:

I copied this for my records and reformatted it so it would fit on a couple pages (sometimes copying things from the internet formats them weirdly)
Here's the PDF version if anyone wants it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]446803[/ATTACH] Thank you so much!! |
That was a great idea. I used to use my old kitchen table to sew on, as it was sturdy and had a large enough surface to hold and support the quilt when I was machine quilting, even king size quilts. I miss it as sit was too big to bring with us from the house to the apt.
|
This may sound dumb but how would you change front loading bobbin? Would you need to lift machine out each time or could it just be tipped back?
|
Nice to have a handy man! Nice table!
|
great table redo....enjoy your Juki, I also love mine :)
|
Great table!!! Lucky you. Love my Juki too.
|
I love it!
|
great job...Looks good..
|
Would love to know how you did that.

I just bought a Free machine for the cabinet, which is mostly ok but has the drawer sections missing. anyone know what they originally looked like?
|
Great Idea!
|
Looks like a good solid table
|
That is cool, great idea!
|
This is not a dumb question lol believe me we thought alot about this but come to figure out I can get to my bobbin just fine but that is for my machine not sure how others would work.

beautiful tablr. May I borrow your DH? Mine lacks such carpentry skill. :-)
|
I love my Juki sewing table. It was one of the best things I ever did for my sewing room... that and my rolling ironing station... and my Ikea cutting table.. but the set in machine. Love it :D
Yours looks great! |
Love your sewing table. I need to make me one! Great idea!
