i have their catalog but didn't notice this one. mine is black plastic. I may call them and see if they can tell me more. it's not expensive. the flower looking heavy metal ones i found on Pauls' site are $40.00 and up.

I have one of the plastic ones, it was constantly falling over and I complained to my DH. He took it to his garage, when he brought it back he had weighted it down. He turned it over and used several NUTS (like you use on bolts) all the same size and used a strong type glue and placed them like clock numbers around the bottom of the base. It now stands very steady and no more tipping over. The bolt nuts are the same thickness as the void in the bottom of the base. I have used it for several years like this with no problem.

when i travel with my janome jem, i use a coffee mug. but at home i use those heavy metal stands, one for each table ... total three. i got mine from atlanta thread supply. much cheaper than clothlda because they sell to the trade. look for their website. i get their hardcopy catalog. if you can't find them, pm me.

i actually ordered the one from LCM. almost got the one from Clotilde but figured the one at LCM said commercial. so we'll see how it fairs when it's delivered. should be the same. then i can trash my plastic one!
thanks all. :mrgreen:
