It's my birthday in 6 weeks. Given it's a special birthday (30) and DH
just got a rather nice bonus, I'm thinking of asking for a sewing table,
the kind you set your machine into.
I'm clueless about what is available, which brands, what kind of price
to expect, how easy it is to get one that fits your machine etc. I want
to know about all the options, regardless of price, so I can make an
informed choice. Can anyone help me out?
Cheers
Anne

Anne, I just bought my table less than a year ago. I looked at Horn,
Koala and Tracey's Tables versions while I was in Houston and finally
decided that Tracey's Tables was the company for me. I can't say enough
good things about them, though I'm not sure they'll ship as far as the
UK. ;) My table is wood (not veneer or plastic) and came completely
assembled; it was delivered to my sewing room (not to the front step of
the house) and put in exactly the position I wanted. It came with an
insert to fit my Bernina so that I have a completely flat surface, but
there's also a "lift" in it so I can have the machine below the surface
and covered over to hide it or up high in order to use the free arm or
to clean the bobbin area easily. I love it! :)

I don't live in the UK, I never changed my email when I moved to the US,
I thought you might remember me from when I posted about getting stuck
in the snow in Las Vegas in December.
Cheers

Well, duh! Of course I do! I'd completely forgotten, though. All the
more reason why I'm glad I posted about Tracey's Tables. :)

I've now had a chance to look at their website, it looks like good
stuff, but they don't exactly overwhelm you with information, or prices.
Which one did you get? I need to measure my space, but I rather like
the look of the "double box" for getting plenty of space behind and to
the left of the machine.
Cheers
Anne
