Has anyone bought one of the portable sewing tables that are being advertise - such as gidget 1 or gidget 2 and I think there is another one - something like sew-ez table - not sure if that is correct or not. Does anyone have another idea for a portable table?

I have two of the "plastic" folding tables that are avail at Home Depot, Costco, etc. They're about 3'x6' I use two together to baste my quilts on, and then one beside my dining room table when I'm quilting on the tabletop. It's very versatile.

I have the gidget 1 - I don't know how "portable" I'd consider it - there are no wheels, etc. so it'd be pretty heavy to haul around. It's sturdy though and works great as a second machine table in my sewing room.

I use a plastic craft table - it's about 18"x30" - that folds up. It is available at a lot of stores for an inexpensive amount. To keep my machine from 'walking' off the table I put a piece of shelf liner under it. This is lighter and more portable than what I had previously. And it perfect for my machine.
