I bought a Sylvia designs table last fall and I really love it. The
model I got is the 1600 which I liked because the sewing machine area is
wider than most so you can sit centered on the needle. Also it has more
foot room - some are pretty squishy. The back has the drop leaf so you
have a fairly large sewing table when it is fully open. The lift works
great and you can order inserts for different machines.

So, my question for you is... do you have any suggestions on brands or
places to buy? I have 3 criteria and looked at one yesterday that met
them... Before I commit, I thought I would ask you all.

I am looking for
1. A drop leaf on the back to hold the quilt after it passes the
machine.
2. A lift system
3. Cabinet designed so i am centered in front of needle when seated...
not the center of the machine.

It is great to see familiar names here... even if you don't remember
me!

i look forward to more postings.
