cardboard cutting table referred to in FFRP
Deb Fox Intermediate FL USA Member since 8/26/05 Posts: 1175	Login to reply to this post 1 member likes this. Date: 5/19/07 8:26 AM I remember not too long ago someone mentioning that this fantastic folding cardboard cutting table mentioned in FFRP is no longer being carried by the people mentioned in the book. Does anyone know where you can order one from? I am currently en route to my new home in Jacksonville FL, stopping here in CT to visit with family and friends for a few weeks, but I would love to be able to order one and have it waiting for me when i get there. Any ideas? ------ Deb: www.thinkingcouture.blogspot.com

You might email Sherryl at Cynthia's website. I know the name and address of the manufacturer is on them and maybe even an 800 number. ------ Sandra Whatever You Can Do, or Dream You Can, Begin it, Boldness has Genious, Power and Magic in it. - Goethe

I have one, but I never use it. And the Sew/Fit cardboard cutting table is no longer being manufactured by the Sew/Fit company and is not available for sale. This is a shame because I used one while I was taking sewing lessons at my dealers, and it was lightweight, easy to assemble and completely sturdy. I think the best inexpensive alternatives are the folding cutting tables from Hancock's, Joann or Nancy's Notions. These white laminated tables are approximately 35" high and measure 36" by 59.5" when open and 36" by 13" when closed. They're now on sale for $99 at Nancy's Notions, $69 at Hancock's and $59 at Joann. I'm planning to buy one at Joann this weekend because I have a 10% off coupon that will bring the price down to about $54. -- Edited on 5/22/07 4:06 PM -- ------ The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale.

The person I spoke with at the company who used to make/sell it told me that my best bet was at a store in Australia.

I have one that is about 10 years old and it's starting to bow and sway. I was hoping to replace it someday. By the way, I'm tall--about 6 foot and I use the one that is about 40" tall--much better than the standard less than 36". Does anyone know if the folding tables come taller than that? ------ Tall person seeking knowledge for custom clothing!

Now I use 2 banquet style tables from Staples, Office Depot, etc. I use PVC pipe and had it cut in appropriate lengths to put on the legs. No more bending... Priscilla
juliette2 AUSTRALIA Member since 6/18/03 Posts: 1080	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 5/24/07 8:23 AM My copy of Australian Stitches arrived today. The table is advertised in the mag! It looks exactly the same as the one in FFRP. It is available from: Baraque School of Sewing and Style 77G Roland Avenue Wahroonga NSW 2076 Australia Phone + 2-9487-1177 Email baraque ATSIGN iprimus.com.au (replace ATSIGN with the obvious - don't want to advertise them to spammers) Price is AU$99 or NZ$120. They don't give a price in US$. Dimensions are W 150cm, D 80cm, H 88cm. HTH! Juliette ------ It's a custom-made designer original. I made it myself.

Shipping will probably add a bit. Juliette, do they give a shipping rate? Thanks, Jen ------ *Jen* If I stitch fast enough, does it count as aerobic exercise?
