Extended table problem with new machine
#1
Ok now I have a computized kenmore Machine. Didn't think DUUUUUH how much design has changed now my extended table doesn't quite fit. But I do have 2 extending tables. When I moved to Ga. from FL. One of the guys stepped on my table that I had wrapped and wrapped with quilts to protect. DH Glued it back together. That first Christmas in Ga. My Mother bought me a new one. Which I haven't used and it is still in its box in my closet. Now I can do 1 of 2 things. Let DH mark and Grind my old table to fit new machine or the grind the new table to fit the new machine.
I took some pictures so you can see. After I took the pictures,I used that rubber stuff that stops things from sliding, I thought, I wonder if those things will just do the job and I don't have to let DH grind anything. Now He is a Handyman in more ways than one, :-D He is quite capable of doing the job.
Just wanted to know what you all thought of it. you know Grind or not Grind.

It would be nice to be able to use it for both machines, if one is in the shop... that is if you are planning on getting your other machine fixed. So if it works with the gripper stuff, I would leave it at that :D:D:D

I have one of those plastic tables and it is stashed away. All it did was catch the quilt on the edges. It was a waste of money so I ended up buying a regular table with the lift. What a difference no more fighting the edges.
With a hubby that is handy you could have him cut a hole in an old table and put your sewing machine level with the table. He can even cut the hole to fit the plastic table that fits around your machine.

Bon, Bon, I have one of those clear extension tops that I broke on retreat. My husband who is a machinist made me another top out of plexiglass. He used the feet from the broken one. I use folding tables from Staples for my sewing tables. Again my husband cut down the legs so that the table would be the right heighth for me to sit perfectly perpenduclar. My main machine table is now just 27' tall. With the clear extension on the machine I can sit with my feet flat on the floor and my arms at the right height to give the maxium comfort.
