I have a old cabinet the machine was probably from the 60's my husband made the cutout bigger. Installed a lift which is not really necessary buy nice. Also made the cutout to fit around the machine. My cabinet is very sturdy. Look at your local thrift stores .

I got the gidget. Hated it. Doesn't have an insert (that I could find for my babylock which is irregularly shaped).
Sew EZ looks so much better and you can get an insert for several different machines (made based on the machine).

I can also set it up in front of my chair to rest the quilt on when I am doing the hand finishing on the quilt binding while watching TV. I think I paid about $25 for it. Look in the section where they have the furniture for college kids or first apartments. It has a white plastic top and grey metal legs.
