My sewing machine also is designed for Embroidery. Can you tell me how sturdy the table is? will it bounce at all during sewing?

I have not experienced any bouncing, especially with the side arm up and secured (with the prop). I have really enjoyed it.

I've never had any problems with this table moving around or bouncing at all. I love this table.

I don't use it for sewing but I think as long as you lock the wheels or make sure it doesn't roll I don't think it will bounce. It's a great desk/craft table

I feel the table is sturdy. Although I don't do embroidery on my sewing machine, the table does not bounce when I sew. The table is heavy enough that I cannot lift it off the floor from the center of the table, but the wheels allow it to be easily rolled. Overall, the table has made it easier to store my machine and sewing things, and have immediate access when I'm ready to sew.

Hi, Susanna! It depends on which sewing table you own...Arrow makes 3 different inserts...which table do you have?

Hi! I really don't remember? But it wasn't hard!! I think there was no assembly......only adjusting your table drop for the sewing machine! It is an amazing table! I love mine! It takes up no space! It fols down for easy storage if you need to make it disappear! It makes a lovely side table in a guest/sewing room when covered with a pretty table cloth!! I am a bit disabled and I had no problems with it at all!!! You can't go wrong with this table!

I do not know, but I wouldn't think so. The vibration of the sewing machine and the natural movements of sewing could result in the table falling over. We just use it to display some papers, and one side is against a wall.

I have put my sewing machine on it and sat and sewed. For me, it worked well. It's nice that you can adjust the height. I guess it might depend on how tall you are.

Your machine should be adjusting tension automatically....I would check your needle versus type of fabric you're sewing/embroidering, check to see if you have a piece of thread broken apart in the head of the machine that could be catching on your sewing thread. You can manually adjust tension by running the thread back and forth at the top rear...then, Thread the machine. check your manual or on-line for the description. If you are embroidering, be sure you are using quality thread. I've used less "expensive" & paid for it in breakage in the middle of the piece. Try slowing down the stitching speed & make sure you are using the proper backing for your fabric. You could still have thread caught in the bobbin case which could be exerting too much pressure on the top thread. I would try a thorough cleaning, vacuum.....your machine out....never blow it like a computer. The sewing machine has oiled, moving parts & blowing the dirty, dust, lint pushes it into the machine and eventually causes a sludge..... Check to make sure you haven't knocked the timing out.....if the machine increases in frequency of breakage, look at your bobbin case...make sure the needle isn't hitting the plastic instead of the hole ...sliding off into the bobbin. Goodness, I hope this helpS!!! All else fails, call Singer support...they are easy to work with...I've called them in e past. THey will walk you through maintenance to get you up and running. I love my 400!!! Use it all the time....one of three sewing machines.....I have a 43 year old brother I can't part with as well.. Good luck MMh

It can't be adjusted. When the sewing machine platform is in the low position, it is just under 3.75" from the table top. When it is up, it is the same height as the table top.

I sit at an architects drawing table that is at standing height. It has so many adjustments that you are bound to find a combination of settings that are just right for you. The one concern I had was for stability when leaning clear back - not to worry. It has five legs/rollers and it is Very sturdy. I feel like I could jump on it (I really haven't tried it! No sense pushing your luck) and it would stand the abuse. I absolutely love mine.

Yes, I use it for a sewing table, computer work (17 inch laptop), and for scrapbook work. It is sturdy, portable, and height adjustable.

I haven't had any problems, however, I'm very careful when sewing with fabrics such as heavy denim, using extra caution when sewing over the multi-layered seams. The machine does not skip stitches and I am very happy with the quality of the stitching.

Most definitely. I use this as a sewing table, there is room for a chair. The leg set up is similar to that of an ironing board. Now, I don't iron sitting down but I do use a chair when I sew.

In checking the instructions which came with the table there is no mention of a weight capacity. Probably since a sofa table is not usually expected to hold much. I use mine for a sewing table with a sewing machine and a serger on it- not very heavy. The table is very sturdy. You bolt on the legs, so if they are on tight you shouldn't have any wobble. I felt it was a good value for the price. It is unfinished and I have left it that way. Nice and smooth.

This is a sturdy piece. However, I have used it usuall to prop up my feet, and, to have a place to keep my needlework, etc., when I 'm not working on things. I have had more than one occasion to sit on it, and, I'm no light-weight either....trust me. It seems to have the inner strength to tolerate all the uses to which I have put it. Good luck!

I have a Bernina 750 and the table works great with it. I have the extension shelf for my machine and it fits on the table as well. If your Bernina includes the embroidery attachment, I'm not sure if the table extends far enough to support it too. There are measurements shown for the table; measure your machine to make sure all the dimensions work. The description of the table says it holds up to 45 pounds. My machine weighs about 40 pounds and it feels totally secure in the table. There is no vibration as I sew.

The cart is a good size, but I'm not sure a sewing machine will fit. Does the arm come off the machine? If yes, then I think it might. It certainly can take the weight of it though. It's pretty sturdy. I love mine and use it ALL the time. I live in an upstairs apartment.

The sewing table is great when the drop leaf is up there is more than enough room to sew large items. It is also very usable when the leaf is down real happy with my purchase.
