I have a Janome and my extension table came included as a special sale offer. Normally it is an optional extra. I used it to quilt a large quilt and have left it on since then. Wouldn't be without it.

I am so glad to run across your note. I have been looking for a table like that for awhile now. It was so nice being able to see all the sizes. This quilting board is fun and very informative. Thank you :-)

My DH had one made for me that is 36 x 36. I love it! It is not portable like the smaller ones, but allows me to do large blocks and tops so much easier. It was less than $100.00, custom made to fit my machine.

I made my own plexiglass table for my machine. I drew onto a piece of freezer paper the size and shape I wanted. I took it to the local glass shope, along with a catalog that had a picture of what I was going to do with it. I did more of an L shape with the table fitting around the back of my machine. I got 1/4" plexiglass and it was big. About 24' square. Once the man saw what I wanted to make with it, he rounded the corners and it only cost me about $25.00. I measured how high it needed to be and then my DH made legs for it. He counter sunk the screws that held the legs, and I had a table for next to nothing. I still use it for retreats and such.

my mom got me one from nancy's notions year ago.. i never take it off the machine unless i need to hem something small, and would have taken the regular base off anyway...
makes for a lot less drag when i'm piecing or quilting..

Could not live without mine. Paid $70 a few years ago directly to Sears to go on my Kenmore.
I also use it for a quick light table by putting four of those "press and light" closet lights under it. Works great.
