This looks like the same setup I had years ago for doing upholstery

The table is fabulous. I have a pretty good set up but my machine is still about an 1 1/2 above the table top. To have a machine flush with the top and so much space to lay out a quilt is terrific. Great place to make curtains too.

I would agree that more than likely it will not work for quilting.

What are you piecing with and how big is the quilt?

Very nice table but where do you park your cars?

Maybe outside--More people in Alaska park their cars outside while their garages are full of snowmachines and 4-wheelers and junk. We park our cars indoors. Nothing like getting into a warm car and no snow or ice to remove. Or maybe this lady lives in warmer climes.

I agree with Battle Axe.. It's your husband's machine, let him use it..Even my Juki TL98 scared the heck out of me, the first time I stepped on the pedal...

As long as you are doing a straight stitch it would be great for quilting. I am sorry I let my comercial machine go. Just try on a sample first.

wouldn't work too good on quilting and fabric like we use. I have a Brother and put a larger pulley and belt and motor on it to slow it down. Now the table is awesome. I would like that in my new addition. My DH said I could get one added on this summer hopefully.
