Has anybody used a card table for their sewing machine? I currently have my machine on an old desk and the desk has sides on it, so I'm not able to lay a quilt out to quilt it, and sewing together rows of blocks is kind of annoying.
Would a card table be too shaky?

I think it depends on the card table. If you find a sturdy one I think it would be fine. Have you tried the craft table at Costco? They seem pretty sturdy to me and they come in two sizes I believe.
Hope this helps.

It's a Brother LS2125, so it's pretty light.
I would take off the upper part of the desk, but I'm afraid the desk wouldn't be as stable anymore. And I already tried to remove it once and didn't have a way to take the upper part off.

I use a card table for laying out and cutting, a desk for piecing and my kitchen table for quilting.
My card table would be no where near sturdy enough for a machine.
And like you I can not quilt on my desk

If you would need to purchase a table I would suggest the small conference table, 4 foot by 2. I purchased mine at both an office supply store (over $40) and at Walmart (under $40). Both are good and stronger then the card tables I've tried.
