Singer Sewing Machine Card tables
I am so happy. This weekend I found a featherweight card table. I already have a card table for my Singer 301A set up in my family room. I plan to set up the featherweight in another room and have each set up for a different project.
This way I can move from project to project depending on what I feel like working on.

Yes. Each of my folding card tables was made specifically for that machine. I found the 301 table on etsy and the featherweight table on Craigslist. I paid $80 + $45 shipping for the 301 table. Probably a little pricey but I love having the machine flush with the table.

Sometimes it's when you aren't looking you find them. I found 2 ($10 & $30) at thrift stores. Both needed gluing and refinishing, but they are great to take along to mini workshops or our travel trailer. Still on the lookout for a 301 table, but do have 2 cabinets they fit in very nicely.
Enjoy your finds!

The Singer folding card table for the model 301 shortbed machines is the Singer “Model 316 "MONTEREY" Utility Table”. It also accepts the 400-series machines such as the 404 & 401A.
I have my Grandmother’s table. She bought it new in the late 50s with her new Singer 404 that I also have. As a child, I ate potluck dinners with the rest of the kids on that table, so I’ve known it for years. Some of the stains on the top of it could be from my clumsiness or cutting up while I was supposed to be eating.
Here are photos of it with a 301A and a 403 in it, but oddly enough, I can’t find a photo of it with the 404 in it....

I got lucky and found mine in the Goodwill with a doily and plant on top of it. I walked by it a few times and then said to myself "I wonder what's under the doily". Imagine my surprise. I paid some odd number like $9.48 or something. I am not usually lucky with finding vintage machines and when I do (rarely) they are not cheap or in good shape. It took me years, literally, to come across my feather weight. And it was $150.
