    Default Portable sewing tables/do they vibrate??

    I'm thinking about getting a Sew-eze or Gidget. Have any of you used one? Do they vibrate? I've used folding tables before and they do. Are these stablized in any way to prevent the vibration?

    I have an Arrow table, pretty sure it's the Gidget, and LOVE it. I use it with my Juki TL 98Q for FMQ and have had NO vibration problems. It is reinforced with metal tubing and has been very solid for me. I bought mine at JoAnns about 3 years ago at a black Friday sale and only paid $79. I noticed it is in the JoAnn's black friday add again this year, and still the same price. It's on page 10 here: http://www.theblackfriday.com/ads/jo...day-ad10.shtml

    I have the Gidget table and I love it. Very steady, no vibrations and is the perfect hight. Also easy to store if I ever need to put it away.

    I have two of those Arrow Gidget tables and I love them.....VERY sturdy. My husband had to cut out some of the space to make my machines fit....a Janome 6600 (for length) and a Babylock Dec. Choice (for width). I ordered if for $109 shipping included, if you can't get one from Joann. I have seen them in our Joann stores but no price...as usual (SO annoying!!!)!! It's a good table for the price.

    I have a kangaroo kabinet and My machine does vibrate a little, I hate that. I ordered online and It was a nightmare for DH to put together.

    I have the Sew-EZ and use my Viking SE on it with no vibration. It is very stable.

    I got a table from Leah Day - Daydesigns, Don't remember the name, it doesn't vibrate. Very heavy.
