I have a Sew-Ezi table and have taken it several times to retreats. It's very sturdy, easy to transport and set-up. I wanted a table where my machine would sit low and then a custom insert would allow me to have a flat surface to sew on. It's a great alternative to large sewing cabinets. I have limited space, so the Sew-Ezi is perfect for me.

I went to an annual quilting retreat a couple of weeks ago.
Three or four people there had the Sew-Ezi tables and I can tell you that I now have added that to my long "must-have-someday" list. They all loved their tables.

My sister has one, but I don't know which it is. She has a very small space to work in, and she seems to be very happy with it. But she isn't a quilter.

My girlfriend loves hers. I use the 6' tables from home depot and lowes and like them bunches.

I saw the 'Gidget' for under $100 online http://www.google.com/products/catal...344&os=sellers
The SewEZ is over twice as much, although it is nice!
Are any made in the USA or any friendly country like Australia? That's important to me - but often not possible. If you have a featherweight, someone in IL is making a replica of the original folding card table. http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...nd_tables.html
I saw it advertised in Quiltmaker Magazine. I have an original and love it for my Featherweight...

I have a Sew Ezi and love it. It serves as my everyday sewing table and also goes with me when I travel. I have Featherweight and Bernina acrylic inserts. The only problem is in adjusting for machine height when I change from one to the other. I find the height adjusters time consuming and a hassle. Sooo, I have the height set for the Bernina and put a D/FW phone book under the Featherweight when I use it--problem solved! I purchased a floor model at the end of a quilt show; the dealer did not want to haul it back to CA after. I believe I paid $195 then ordered the other insert for around $35. I't has been well worth the money.

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.

I worked at a nursing home and they were redoing the pt's rooms and the over the bed trays they told us girls whoever wanted them to take them. I keep one of my machines on it and can adjust the hgt to what I need. Its works out well and they were free. Sue

So anymore reviews on these tables? Looking for a table I can put near my chair in living room. I have Kenmore sewing machine. Was hoping for one on wheels, but can't seem to find any.
