I tried a Pfaff machine that I have here, but the free arm is too wide. This Bernina 707 mini matic fits very nicely, except I have to find something thin to raise it just slightly. It has a nice large surface to piece quilt blocks on and a handy lower edge for your pin cushion, thread catcher, scissors, etc. I think I'll like this table...now to get the machine fixed so it'll sew. It has a few issues, but my trusty resident sewing machine repair guy could get it working again, I'm sure :-). It also folds flat so it will store conveniently in a corner.
This blog is intended as a bulletin board to show the quilts I've been making on my vintage and treadle sewing machines. My husband and I collect antique and vintage sewing machines and I use them to make all my quilts. Here are some of the results.

Cute little sewing table...
A friend of mine wanted to get rid of this cute little sewing table so I decided to give it a loving home for now and see if it can be useful with my herd of antique and vintage sewing machines. Isn't it the cutest little table?

That is great little table, does not look very sturdy though with the chrome legs. The shape of it certainly goes back a few years.
Your resident fixer-upper will surely be able to get the machine going.

Wow - great little table! Where on earth does one find these things?
