Sew Steady Table Review

I have a Koala cabinet for my machine in NY. 

It's so awesome, my 440 sits flush in an acrylic insert surrounded by drawers, spool holders and all kinds of Quilty awesomeness. 

I got it at a scratch and dent sale about 10 years ago, maybe longer, back in Michigan.

I remember the day well, I was shopping with Gaily.

I've never regretted buying it, and it's made me a spoiled Quilty brat.. 

I brought my 153 to leave down here.

We had an old Pottery Barn desk that wasn't getting use, so I moved it down here for my studio.

It's OK, but my 153 has a tiny snap on sewing surface. 

It's not ideal, especially since I'm so spoiled up north.

I shopped around for cabinets when I got here...the best price I found was around $600.

Yikes!  That's more than I wanted yo spend IN TOTAL on tools down here. 

And, I really don't need 2 cabinets, for Pete's Sake!

What will I do with it when we finally move here for good?

I needed another option....I decided to give the SewSteady table a try.

It sits on the desktop and makes a flush sewing surface that's plenty big for most everything I do.

I can store my PurpleThang, ripper, snips and pins underneath and see them.

It also has some circle sewing thing....I'll have to figure that out someday.

And, I can take it with me to improve my sewing surface in classes. 

Cost - $100. - still expensive, but better. 

I have noticed it will take some getting used to as it seems to grip the fabric.

I'm used to a smoother feed, but it may be that I haven't added an Angler, which I always use.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with it.

I'd recommend one to anyone who has a machine that doesn't have a good snap on surface. 

Frannie was fine today...no limping or lethargy. 

I'm glad I left when I did yesterday. 

She is getting a spa treatment at Petsmart tomorrow.

As I type, she's getting her her beauty sleep in.
