Arrow 601 Gidget I Sew-Much-More Folding Sewing, Cutting, Quilting, and Craft Table, Portable with Lift, White Finish

These tables are awesome, this is the 3rd one I have purchased for myself and I have purchased them for others as a gift . I have nothing but compliments on this table. It is strong, does not feel like it will shake apart like others I have tried when I am sewing for a long time, even with my heavy duty machine. when I need to move it I can either collapse it or just pick it up.

I use my guest room for crafts and sewing, so space is at a premium. I wanted something that could be folded and stored away if necessary. This table is very sturdy and easily folds and unfolds. I have an older Pfaff 6091, which is a smaller machine, so I had to come up with a minor adjustment to the shelf that lowers for flatbed position: the shelf is adjusted higher or lower by screwing a wing nut up or down on a long bolt. I had it on the highest threads, but there was about an inch without threads at the top; I was able to raise the shelf higher by taking off the wing nut, putting a thick nut at the highest (unthreaded) position, then screwing the wing nut as high as it would go. This placed the shelf at exactly the right height for my machine. I quilt, so the 36" ruler on the front edge of the table is very handy and I've already used it numerous times today (I got the table yesterday). The table is a perfect size to place a few tools and necessities on it while sewing, but small enough that I will probably leave it up even when guests are using the room. It would be easy to put my machine in the closet and raise the machine shelf flush with the table surface to give the guests extra space to use as a desk. Overall, I'm thrilled with this sewing table and would definitely recommend to anyone needing a small sewing table. Update: I've been using this table for about a month now and love it even more! It's so much more comfortable and ergonomic to have my machine at a good height (lowered into the flatbed position). My back is feeling much better! Not having to set up my machine and tools in the dining room, then put everything away before dinner is a real game changer! My spare room is now my happy place all the time!

I rarely do reviews unless a product is really bad or as with the Gidget, really great! I having been sewing literally all my life and have had many different machines and cabinets. I usually put my machine on a table or desk but in searching for a way to do freehand quilting with as little repetitive strain as possible, I looked at many specialty tables. I did not want to spend $3000 on the fabulous Koala set up and I wanted something easy to set up. The Gidget at $119 through Amazon Prime looked like a good risk. I could not be more pleased. It was totally assembled right out of the box and even the height of the recessed platform was perfect for my Bernina 140 Patchwork Edition. I set it up next to the bed in my guest room (same height) and was sewing in less than 5 minutes. I have never had as comfortable reach, view and height of any previously used table. The table is on a tile floor, no rug and I ran the machine as fast as possible with little vibration. I will say that I can anticipate times when the cut out for the machine may be a problem as it does not exactly match. You can pay more for a wheeled Gidget 2 and cut out to exactly fit your machine. I will use a large sheet of clear vinyl with just a small hole for the feeds dogs. Other reviews have mentioned the roughness of the inside edges of the cut out but that is not an issue as it should be below the area where one is sewing. For the price of this sturdy table, you could cover those edges easily with table if you are bothered by it. Overall, this really inexpensive table is a perfect fit for my needs. Of course, with Prime, it was delivered quickly and I am hoping the Gidget will outlast me!

I've used this table for a few months now and it works great for my needs. I live in a small apartment and move quite often so this table is a great option. Pros: Its ready to go right out of the box except for adjusting the drop down for your machine height. It is fairly steady and using it doesn't create vibrations that would bother the neighbors downstairs. It is sturdy and well constructed. It is much better than I was expecting at this price point. The machine drop down is a game changer for my sewing. It makes it much easier to sew clean lines, especially curves around sleeves and necklines. Its easy to fold up and stick in the closet. It's a good value. Its cheap, sturdy, and useful. Cons: The cut out for the machine drop-down on this model isn't big enough to fit the extension table that came with my machine (Brother CS-6000i). Custom inserts can be ordered, but I'm debating upgrading to a better machine and I don't know if I want to invest in an insert that I won't need in a year. The machine sits a little too close to the front of the table for my liking. It would be nice if it were more centered. Summary: This is a great entry level sewing table. It's a big upgrade over sewing with a machine on a flat table and the custom insert is worth the expense if you're not planing on changing machines anytime soon. If you sew enough to think you want one of the big fancy tables but space, or moving logistics, or price point are keeping you from buying one, this is the table for you. After using it a bit, you'll know if you still want to shell out more money for a fancier table.

I just love this sewing table. First of all, I would like to again thank all the users that answered my question. My question was: I have a front load bobbin sewing machine and how difficult is it to change the bobbin? All stated that it was fairly easy to change the bobbin and they were right. -- This table is very sturdy. -- The drop down ledge is easy to manipulate and easy to align your machine to "just right." -- No more back and neck strain. -- The bobbin is a breeze. I usually have the machine closest to me by pulling the machine to the front edge. I sew away. When I need to change the bobbin I just push the machine to the back of the opening, slide the cover off, drop the bobbin door, reach right over and change the bobbin. It couldn't be easier. -- Sewing is smooth and clean. I have a little 24" x 30" folding table that I placed at the end to get the overflow of my quilt. I also purchased a small, 6-drawer on wheels, plastic cabinet that houses all my feet, scissors and other needs. This can slide under the table when I am not using it. I am in heaven. This is probably the best purchase I have made this year. The price is right and the product it great!

I ordered this 30 pound (easy enough for me to handle) Arrow cabinet (table) for quilt retreats and so glad I did. Purchased a small lightweight dolly ($13 @ Tuesday Morning) that holds up to 55 pounds (use a bungee cord to keep it on) to roll back & forth to & from my car. Easily fits in the trunk of my car. This great table has adequate table top space to my left for piecing quilts. Adjustable lift for sewing machine to fit flush with tabletop, ample leg room, easy to set up & tear down. Very sturdy table does not jump around since piecing quilts doesn't require warp speed. I bought this one WITHOUT the built-in wheels because of the ample tabletop space on my left. FYI - The table with wheels has less sewing room on the left as sewing machine fits in the middle of the table. I used the packing material to fill the open spaces around the sewing machine. I just made a snug pillow-like slip cover for the Styrofoam pieces after I taped the pieces together. Perfect!

I ordered this table for my daughter who has recently become interested in sewing. She was always "borrowing" my folding table so I searched EVERYWHERE to find something similar for a reasonable price. As my table is around 30 years old, the search was not easy. I found this table on Amazon for a reasonable price and decided to "go for it." It arrived today and I took it out to examine the condition before gifting it to my daughter. As some other reviewers noted, the inside edge of the drop down area is in fact a little rough, but it had been painted to reduce some of the "snag" factor. After viewing videos on the Arrow website, I noted that the manufacturer recommends leaving on the sewing platform (the removable part around the free arm of a sewing machine) when the machine is lowered into the table. I lowered the insert and placed my machine inside the table with the platform over the free arm and it fit beautifully. That will definitely prevent snagging on some fabric types. A couple of other posters commented they were not happy that a chain holds the insert in the dropped position. I understand their confusion, but in reality, the lowering arm fully supports the lowered inset and I believe the chain is strictly a backup safety precaution. The size and height of the table are terrific and will provide ample space for her to cut out her projects prior to sewing them; the folding legs are very sturdy and the videos on the Arrow website show how to properly lock them into place to prevent wobbling. As I ran my machine, there was no wobble, even at extreme sewing speed on several surfaces (hardwood, tile & carpeting). It is fairly lightweight (about 34 pounds) and folds back easily for storage in a closet or under a bed. I am exceptionally pleased with this table; in fact I might have to order another for myself! Thank you Amazon for making this terrific table available!

My wife needed a portable sewing table for traveling back and forth to our daughters while she watches our granddaughter. After looking online I found this product which appeared to be sturdy looking at the materials. When it arrived, I was rewarded for my efforts as it is very well built. Once opened up, it feels like a permanent table. No wobble or looseness in the legs are joints. I will admit that I am not very experienced with how to use the adjustable insert for leveling a sewing machine. But it appears that some sewing machines may need an insert of some sort so that they are level. It would be nice if the manufacturer included that with the table, but it may be my inexperience speaking. Overall my wife is very happy with the table and I'm happy with the quality of what I bought. If this is the type of table you were looking for and your If it is worth the money, I would say yes.

Super Tisch,hat genau die richtige Größe wenn die Bastelecke nicht so groß ist, Finde die Qulität gut. Nur die Versenkoffnung hat eine goßen offenen Rand der dürfte etwas weniger sein und sollte mit der Tischplatte abschließen. Wenn nur gebastelt wird muss eine Platte darauf gelegt werden, sonst fällt einiges durch und es kann nicht präzise gearbeitet weden.

Great sewing machine table. The handy multi function of raising and lowering the machine is fantastic, making it easy to remove the machine so you can use it as a full table to cut out fabrics .

Perfetto

Très pratique , très polyvalent , solide , bien fait , je la conseils fortement 👍

I don't have a sewing room so being able to make this table flat and slide it under my bed has been very useful. Even after setting it up and taking it down many, MANY times, the table still functions as it did when it was new. The surface remains clean and undamaged and the applied ruler is still completely flat. I was certain it would peel off after a few years but it is as good as new. I have sewn heavy fabrics and lightweight fabrics on both my standard machine and my serger and there is little discernable vibration. I am moving to a place where I will have a dedicated sewing room (YEAH!) but will keep this table for my machine regardless - I just ordered the custom plexiglass insert from the Arrow company and am looking forward to many more years of use from this table.
