Does anyone use this table for sewing? I'm worried about bounce when I'm sewing quickly, and whether there is ample space for staging fabric.

I use it for sewing almost exclusively. I don't experience any bounce when I am sewing, but maybe you are more experienced than myself. The top is plenty deep for me and the fabric. I don't know how much space you would like on the sides with the space for chair in the middle. I hope this helps.,

I would not recommend abwork on this table, as I think it is made to be a little more light-weight and portable. Some of the other tables available look better suited for this purpose. However, for inversion, this table is excellent. You may consider contacting the manufacturer to be sure.

I have mine on carpet, and it's not too wobbly. I originally purchased mine for my embroidery/sewing machine in my sewing room. But with the weight of the machine, the table flexes just enough to where I can't connect the two parts of the machine together. I'm in the process of getting either wood or something more sturdy so that the table won't flex. It's a very nice table, you can raise it if you need to stand to do something, like I have my cutting mats on one end. It never wobbles when I am cutting my fabric. I also have a portable ironing board and have ironed on it and it's never wobbled. Hope this helps I have mine on carpet, and it's not too wobbly.

When I was researching before purchase, I remember one commenter mentioning that this particular form was better for display, rather than sewing, pinning, etc. That may be the case for the professional seamstress. I've pinned and done light repair on some vintage items and have no complaints. It is attractive and easy to work with. Good luck!

Make sure you put the foot dogs down (the things that move your fabric). Set your stitch length to "0". Practice on a scrap. I used fabric with batting between (similar to quilt). Practice how fast you move it to gauge your stitch. The foot will bounce up and down, but that is what it's supposed to do. Good Luck!

thanks so much everyone. Dh is extremely handy so i am confident we could put it together ok. Most pressboard furniture just seems so flimsy and the drawes would need to be real sturdy to stand up to heavy files. Thanks so much!

This table is not as sturdy as I would have liked; however, I did not purchase it for outdoor purposes (it serves as overflow seating in my classroom). If you have no wind break, then I believe a wind gust may send this table flying.

I have it packed away right now but I can tell you that I have done 4 craft shows with it this year all of the craft shows provided a folding table (all different kinds of folding tables even a cafeteria table) and the skirt was the perfect length for all of them. The skirt went exactly to the ground. So maybe you can look up the average height of folding tables and then you will have a rough estimate. Sorry I cant be of more help. I love the skirt it lays well and attaches nicely to the clips I bought.

I would say yes. i cannot remember the weight limit, but yes, it is sturdy and would hold the weight of a machine. in fact, i think it would be a very good table for sewing. remember that it is less than three feet long - make sure that it would give you ample room .

I had one made for my table and think it is a Gidget 1 table, it has the lift function in it. My machine has an open arm so I need lift, and I had the Arrow insert made. You just give them your sewing machine make and model and they customize the insert to fit. Unfortunately I have not been able to set up my machine, table or use the insert yet but I did this with my other machine and sewing cabinet and it works great.

This is used as the kids table when I need the space. Ages 2-10. Plenty of room for them. I have also used it as a craft table and havent had any leg issues. I have 2 of these tables and they have been very handy.

I feel this table is STURDY. It is well designed and well constructed. I feel you would find it quite solid when your sewing machine was "humming along".

I do not know, but I wouldn't think so. The vibration of the sewing machine and the natural movements of sewing could result in the table falling over. We just use it to display some papers, and one side is against a wall.

Definitely....it is very sturdy. I have put a sewing machine on it & done sewing. We are very pleased with this table!

I, too, covered mine in a tight stretchy knit top and I pin into the shirt. As to the lightness of the form that is what I like about it; it moves easily anywhere in the room. I guess I just am used to it but when I put something on it I am careful not to tip it. I use the form for fit issues with clothing and I use it to hold long items I need to hem like a formal gown; I just take it to its tallest height. When I do this I do put the form in a wide container (like a flower pot) and stuff fabric around it so it is not so tippy while I feed the fabric into my machine. I really like this form. It is the best one I found at such a reasonable price.

I don't know how big your serger and sewing machines are but you could fit 2 machines in there and would have to do some jockeying when you wanted to use the sewing table unless you plan to leave everything open all the time. You could (again, depending upon the size of your machines) store one on one of the shelves which are adjustable. You would have room to store tools but I would say probably not fabric.

I'm doing my sewing on a sewing machine right at the moment on this new table. Go for it! A perfect match! Val
