    When you all say "card table" what are you talking about? Picture? I think I saw what you all were talking about the other day and it was ten bucks. As I am standing there looking at it and trying to take a pic to ask here a lady grabs it and says, "I can sell this on ebay. It ships easy and reasonable."

    I'm not even sure what to say to that. I do know if I see something I'm even remotely interested in at sales I grab it and decide later. It's saved me some regrets a few times now. People can be rude.

    The card tables are just that. Picture a little square table with legs that fold up under it and that has a cutout to drop a sewing machine in. I just saw one on Craig's List a day or two ago. I think it was $60.

    Here's a pic of one without the insert. This one is for a 301 long bed so the cut out is huge.

    Thanks for the pic Cari. Much better than my feeble description.

    You gave a great description. Some people need a visual to go with the description. I'm like that.

    I bought my FW card table for $5, is also missing the insert. I don't need it when the machine is in use.
