Serger table Looking for suggestions on what to buy
Scrappy Gram Advanced NY USA Member since 12/27/03 Posts: 147	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 10/25/12 6:42 AM I have limited space in my sewing room but would like a table or cart for the serger so it is out and accessible all the time. What do you use for a small table for your serger?

I'd like a very small table for my serger that's sturdy. I sometimes use one of those foldable wooden TV trays because I can easily move it wherever I like, but it's not as sturdy as I would prefer. ------ Olivia, my Pfurple Pfaff Creative Performance Bernina Aurora 430 BabyLock Enlighten

I got it for about 50 bucks with free shipping. And in my case, I actually do use that as a table over my bed. But I also used it for my serger table prior to the above set up and it was GREAT. Super sturdy, adjustable up and down, rolls but has locking feet. And it is a great table for other uses too if you ever need or want it to be or if you ever change your serger set up. I am sure you will get tons of great answer, just thought I would toss in what worked for me. ------ My Singer crew: Sergei - Serger 14T968DC (set up as coverstitch) Stella - Serger Stylist II 14J250 (set up as main overlock) Quincy - Quantum 9960 (my main SM) Newest addition: Stevie, my very first Featherweight!

It sits right next to my Singer cabinet which I use as my sewing table. I don't have dedicated room so I have to be really compact in my space. It's a pain but I prefer being able to leave my machines out. ------ http://sweetnotions.blogspot.com/

It's compact & very stable. ------ Beverly Janome Coverpro 1000CPX; Brother Serger 1034D; Kenmore 19233; Alden (early 1970's) http://bjsewmuchmore.blogspot.com

My husband added a second drop down extension on the other side. It's the perfect size for the serger. Got it free from his office! ------ betty/mikie
Scrappy Gram Advanced NY USA Member since 12/27/03 Posts: 147	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 10/25/12 3:18 PM Thank you for the ideas - my husband suggested a TV snack table, but I'm not sure it would be sturdy enough.

I got that in the early 80's, it came with a massive electric typewriter. Hmmm, wonder where the typewriter went? I got my first computer in the late 80's, I suppose I gave the typewriter away. Glad I kept the stand, though. It's been in the sewing area ever since. ------ Measure twice, cut once.

Only problem is my serger danced on it. I found a rubberized place mat in a clearance bin somewhere for $1 that it now sits on. Fixed the problem. If I didn't have that set-up, I probably would get a table top I saw at IKEA and add 4 legs. Total price (for the size I need) was like $50.
