Useful Sew Steady Table Products

By Eloise Hewitt


Having a work surface that allows ample room for maneuvering can make an embroidery, quilting or sewing project progress much smoother and even produce better results. Without enough space, more resistance may be placed on the fabric, causing it to pull and skew the stitching. Sew Steady table extensions are an innovative way to expand the area holding the material and improve efficiency.

These products attach to one's existing machine and create a larger work surface that comes even with the needle plate. This lowers the resistance on the fabric as it passes through the stitching process since more of the project stays level, reducing the chances of pulling and making it easier to keep everything even and aligned. The increased height of these platforms also offer better support for one's wrists and elbows.

Every platform is designed specifically for the sewing machine, any make or model, that the client submits at the time of order. Surface area choices span from 11" x 15" all the way up to 24" x 32" with several options in between. The height of the support legs can be adjusted according to one's personal preferences and they can be attached or removed for storage in virtually no time.

Only the best clear acrylic is used in the manufacturing of these products, each designed for optimum dependability, portability and reliability. For both safety and fabric protection, all edges are given a smooth or beveled finish. To make for better transportability and storage, a special tote is available that will hold any model of platform as well as all optional accessories.

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.
