I knew I wanted as much surface on the left of my machine as possible. Either way, it's so nice to have a table that lets the machine be set into it.Amy @ Amy's FMQ Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249397590865683398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-45098990194490116652015-03-25T07:15:47.549-04:002015-03-25T07:15:47.549-04:00You wrote a very nice and thorough review of the S...You wrote a very nice and thorough review of the Sew-Ezi. I considered this one before buying the Gidget II, a slightly larger table, from the looks of the Sew-Ezi. I use mine at home and away, and like it for the same reasons you like your Sew-Ezi. Happily, I bought mine locally, so paid less due to no shipping charges.

Granted, the sewing surface is probably smaller, but you're correct---lugging it all out and putting it away again would be a hassle if she's using the dining room table. And the recessed height is so much more comfortable.Amy @ Amy's FMQ Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249397590865683398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-25532489459025313052015-03-24T10:28:35.645-04:002015-03-24T10:28:35.645-04:00Amy - nice chatting with my late night blogger at ...Amy - nice chatting with my late night blogger at the show. The demo answered my questions about how the 'rulers' work. Much easier than I thought. First up will be finding the foot for my Janome. They were not available at the show nor the next week at Mountain Quiltfest in Pigeon Forge that we attended. I did buy a light box at the Janome booth in Lancaster at what seemed like a very good price. I do lots of applique (woolie) so that appealed to me for tracing. Their floor and table lighting seemed to be a big seller too. I was tempted but didn't.

I got tired of putting the machine away constantly and we park our RV permanently on a lakeside lot. In the winter I use it at home if I need an extra machine for piecing. I've also taken it to retreats and friends homes for sewing get togethers. I have the accessories tray, which works great for all the machine supplies, snips etc. well worth the purchase price, but I did pay a bit more in Canada for it...victoria girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341991368436280997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-27236520371209089832015-03-22T03:12:24.278-04:002015-03-22T03:12:24.278-04:00Good review.

I will set it up at home sometimes, if I've got quilting spread all over my regular table and want to do some piecing. It works great. The only downside is its size - I would like a larger surface. There is a bigger one now, but it wasn't available when I bought mine.What Comes Next?https://www.blogger.com/profile/17290766425199467892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-8883424339449191622015-03-21T20:21:12.563-04:002015-03-21T20:21:12.563-04:00I also am a proud owner of the SewEzi table.

The second classs i took the table with me. What a difference. Recenly I had surgery on my left foot and hubby brought the table down to the living room so I could sew. It works out fine. Amy enjoy your post.

I upgraded my machine this past Christmas, and had no problem getting an updated insert for the machine.

I'm building a new quilt room and plan to use it has my quilting table, not just for travel.

My mom used to have a 1960s White sewing machine that was built into a wooden cabinet. Ever since she upgraded to a new Viking machine (over 10 years ago) she has just been lugging it in and out of the closet and setting it up on top of her dining room table when she wants to sew. Obviously the Sew Easy table is not a beautiful piece of furniture that you want out all the time in your formal rooms, but do you think this would be a good solution for her to leave set up in her guest room all the time and just put it away when company is coming? She was saying today that she loves sewing because it's so relaxing, but just getting everything set up and put away again takes more time than the sewing does. And of course it's not that big a deal if she's just hemming pants or something, but if she wants to do a project that takes longer than an afternoon she's having to pack it up and put it away every time they want to eat dinner!!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-87760056602788271972015-03-21T17:44:12.495-04:002015-03-21T17:44:12.495-04:00Great review, I enjoyed hearing about the quilt sh...Great review, I enjoyed hearing about the quilt show and your trip, thanks for sharing.Janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494933770754796059noreply@blogger.com
