Sew Steady table insert to free standing table
2 Attachment(s)
I was lucky enough to acquire a 1974 830 Record. It is in good mechanical shape, but the original table was wobbly. I just couldn’t get it to stay level, probably since it was so well used before I got it (professional seamstress). I normally put it in a Gidget II table, and I have the custom Sew Steady insert to fit it. I started thinking that if I could find a way to support that lovely insert like the stand alone Sew Steady inserts, I could have a large, smooth surface to take to sewing groups and classes. DH loves to design custom 3D printer thingies, and he took the assignment on. I will eventually have 6 supports, but only 3 are printed now. They attach with suction cups, and there is a screw adjustment on the bottom. I love it! Note the little needle pack holder; he printed that too.
(Umm. I should have brushed the table off before the picture!) |
Well done! 👏🏻

Very professional looking! On a side note, I have place mats with that same fabric https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/thumbup.png

He is very good and handy to make this.

I've had the same machine for 40 years! Hasn't let me down! 3D printing interests me. Are you able to create templates for cutting fabric?
|
What a great idea! And what a handy hubby. Love the suction cup idea so you can transport without breaking the legs off.
