    I’ve been wondering where you found such a great sewing table. What a great find and thank God for your handy husband!

    Found an identical table on FB marketplace for $20, bought a portable walking foot sewing machine on FB for $150, followed your build instructions and now I have a wonderful setup. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring. Worked like a charm!

    I have 2 sewing tables. One we got at the thrift store that was an old sewing table with no machine and my boyfriend modified the hole for my machine to fit into it. The other table we bought a ready made tabletop at a big box store and my boyfriend cut a hole. They carry many sizes and I got the biggest available. They also have ready made legs that we predrilled for the screws, these can be adjusted for height too by cutting or adding rollers. drawers are an old filing cabinet that used to fit under another table. Much cheaper than purchasing ready made at a store!

    I love thrift store finds. My husband found two metal cabinets with doors to use as a base for a sewing table - he then took a full size 4’ X 8’ sheet of maple plywood and trimmed it out and put on the top of those bases. It is my sewing table and cutting table! I love that my husband is always working to make my one of my passions so much easier. Yes Jesus is my first passion!!!

    Great to a hubby that works to make your quilting life better. I’m has modified our computer desk to a cutting table for me with drawers that are awesome. My sewing machine has been fitted into a sewing machine desk. Right now I’m thinking about a new machine with a bigger throat size, right now I’m has a 6” which is hard to put a quilt through. Thanks for sharing your upgrade. 👍❤️😊

    Thanks so much for sharing this. I want my husband to do the same thing. And make it 29" also. I have an old office chair that goes up and down. All the way up is the most comfortable sewing position but my toes barely touch the floor. I am showing my husband your video today! Thanks again for this video and most of all for your great channel.

    Hi Beth:
    How wide and deep does your desk/table measure?!
    Those ladies looking for a handyman😳
    Perhaps look to church members, neighbors, ask your friends and coworkers for a referral !!!
    I am blessed to have grown up with a father🕊️✝️ who was handy/DIY and taught us how to do it all!
    Then to have my husband who also fills those shoes!!! We are in the process of setting up a space for me. It’s been a long time coming and being frugal is important as well🤑.
    Thanks for listening 🤔😝

  • @charletchisolm7121
    @charletchisolm7121 2 роки тому

    Good afternoon, I have a Juki 2010q and a similar table. I have a few questions for you. Do you have to lit the machine each time you change the bobbin? would I make the hole big enough to use with the extending table or will I not need it? Do you use the knee attachment? If so, how do you attach it? Thank you

    • @bethshibleyquilts
      @bethshibleyquilts  2 роки тому +1

      I do not lift the machine to change the bobbin. I am able to access the bobbin ok. It's not great..but it works. I don't know about the extension table and I do NOT use the knee attachment so I'm not sure it would work with this kind of arrangement. Hope that helps. Happy sewing!

    • @rachelburgener819
      @rachelburgener819 Рік тому +1

      I’m thinking that since her machine is set flush(sunken) with the desk/table that she wouldn’t need the extension table. I think that the extension table just gives a bigger space of flat area🤔
      Does that make sense?!?!! ❤️😀

  • @sandan2358
