My friend bought the sew-ez table and she loves it. I was sewing at her home yesterday and used her table and machine to try it out. It also has an insert for her specific machine. It's great. No shaking or movement from the table at all. It rolls to move it when you have to take it along somewhere and it comes with a case to protect it. It's a great little table and just the right amount of portable space to tote along with you.

What I've found that I like even better are the school desk type tables that are about 4 ft x 18". The legs are adjustable and they are quite sturdy, even if a bit worn from being in a school classroom for however long. I found mine at a yard sale from someone who got them in bulk at auction when the school replaced them with new ones. He was selling them 4 for $30. I convinced him to let me have 2 for $15. Then went back a few weeks later and got 2 more for use elsewhere.

In the video, you can see the table wiggle when she touches it.

I have the Janome table, similar to the Gidget, got it with my 6600 ... it doesn't move or vibrate even with the 6600's speed. I love having the machine inset in the table, it's almost as good as a custom cabinet and MUCH less $$ !
