The janome 12000 is huge and heavy. I had no idea from the original post that was the machine Sval was referring to. My 2 cents is to shop and pop for a table that supports and fits the large TOL machines. The machines are not cheap and protecting the investment is worth it IMHO. I have a Janome 9900 which is not as large so I really was fortunate to find my pre-owned table. I would still love to have a table with the lift mechanism. I keep shopping and dreaming. For now, my set up works just fine.
sval, have you talked to the dealer about furniture that you purchased your machine from? I am always amused that when one drops some $$ on a machine the dealer does not at least try to sell furniture too....at a reduced cost, at least. My experience from having purchased 4 machines in the last 7 years. Curious.
good luck!
