Sew Steady Table Model Designs

By Eloise Hewitt


Sewing, quilting and machine embroidery are all most efficiently done on a surface made to accommodate projects of various sizes. If the area is too small, there is always the risk that the fabric may be pulled and the stitching might become skewed. One solution to this issue is to utilize one of the ingenious Sew Steady table designs which can make the task much easier.

Each model is designed to fit perfectly with any model of sewing or embroidery machine to extend the area around the needle plate. The wider platform reduces a lot of the weight pulling on the fabric, keeping a greater amount of it on a level field and allowing for better stitch alignment. Most users also find that the raised surface provides better support for one's elbows and wrists.

Each platform is custom made for whatever make and model of sewing machine the client uses. The available surface area options range from 11" x 15" up to an impressive 24" x 32", with several variations in between. The legs of each item can be attached and detached within seconds, and the height is easily adjusted for personal comfort.

Made from quality clear acrylic, the products are built for dependability, reliability and portability. All edges have been finished with attention to comfort, safety and protecting the fabric from rips and snags. Everything, including any extra accessories purchased, will break down in minutes to be housed inside the available travel and storage bag.

One top best seller is the Quilter's Wish design which features a sizable working surface of 22-1/2" x 22-1/2". All the edges are smoothly finished and three of them are beveled for comfort. This model comes complete with a large, compartmentalized clear tray for storing tools and notions, a measuring grid and a kit for sewing circles and finishing holes.

Another popular choice is the Deluxe model, which is available in a variety of sizes up to 24" x 24". It also features a drawer for storing thread, tools and notions. A kit for creating and finishing holes and circles is included with this design, as well as a centering ruler that attaches to the needle plate to help with more accurate placement when starting a new stitch session.

To enhance the sewing experience, there are quite a few optional accessories that may be purchased to go along with the platform. The Universal Grid is an insert that affixes to the underside of the products and is very useful in making quick measurements and achieving accurate angles. The Universal Sew-Straight Guide attaches with suction cups and makes stitching a consistent seam nearly effortless.

Even when purchasing a model that comes with a notions drawer already installed, many find that adding an optional spinner tray is a great way to get a little extra storage space. To keep the product looking new and clear, and to achieve the best slickness for optimal fabric movement, the polish kit is often purchased. All of the models are backed by the manufacturer's one year warranty.
