The table I bought had a drawer space already built in. I made a mess of cutting, but saw blade was bad...but it worked and only cost $15.00. For FMQ I got a sheet of clear vinyl at Walmart and tacked it around the table with machine cut out. I would like a do over and set the machine to the right instead of the middle so am on the look out for a different table. I figure I'll use this one for my Janome and a 'new' one with the cut out on the right side for the Juki 2010 that I gifted myself with this Christmas....I just couldn't pass up the interest free LOL.

Patrice,
I have looked at those as well but at this point I am only quilting at home and do not travel for classes etc... The portable table still looks a bit small to contain a larger quilt (perhaps twin sized?) What is your experience with your portable table like? Do you find that you have enough room for larger size quilts or do you still find yourself needing just a bit more room?
There is an option for $100 to get a table top extension table for this machine but i would still be "hovering" over it, so I gave up on that idea.

Yes! That is Exactly what I was thinking about! That looks awesome!!!
Did you buy your Juki from a dealer?

I quilted a large quilt, about 65 x 90 on it. As I said, I put the SewEzi table next to a larger table in my sewing room so I supports the quilt. I have also purchased the extension table which I haven't had a chance to try out yet. There is a larger table which would probably be nicer, but I'm starting to run out of space in my sewing room so opted for the smaller portable table so that I can take it down when I'm not using it if I wish. I've always used machines sitting on top of large office type tables, but I have to say that having the machine table height did seem to be easier on my back and shoulders. Also, the machine with the larger harp space helped a lot with that. I didn't have to be pushing and pulling the quilt thru the small harp.
I am assuming you are using your Juki for quilting? How do you like it?
