I think I purchased mine originally from Nancy's Notions. I took it on retreat and accidently snapped it in half. My dear machinist husband made me a new acriylic top and used the legs from the old one. I don't know how I would sew or quilt without it. It also makes a great place to store stuff underneath as it is always visible.

I have one for each of both my machines. I love the tables. I don't use it as much at home since I bought a desk that my machine sinks into but still use it when I take the machine out to other places. It is a nice table for quilting. It also makes a great "light box" just place a light bulb under the acrylic and you have a lite table.

It is so worth it...If you have a sewing table where your machine sits down in your table, you don't need one, but if you sew with your machine on a table, it gives you a lot of flat sewing surface. I use mine mostly when I go to sewing days with my friends, or for retreats. But sometimes I like to sew in my dining room instead of my sewing room...there is a great view, and I use my acrylic table then too.

I have a Baby Lock Serenade and one came with it. Love it, if I'm using my machine I'm using it So much easier to sew even small pieces. Mine has adjustable legs so can use it with my Brother machine. You won't regret getting it.
