Sorry, I do not have a camera. But the insert looks exactly like the acrylic type except it is wood. I did go over the surface of the balsa wood with a coat of polyurethane.

Cool idea. I've seen people make these out of cardboard, but the balsa would be nicer looking!

Clever. Here is a link to an acrylic one if other sewists have trouble picturing: http://www.allbrands.com/products/abp03040.html

Duplicate post.

Does this mean that you made a larger table to increase the size of your free arm to be like a sewing table extension? Could you please post a photo? Thank you.

deesews: no, this is not like the extension tables that come with the newer quilting machines these days. It is a homemade insert that fills in the cutout of a cabinet to make the upper surface of the machine level with the surface of the cabinet. To access the free arm, the balsa wood insert is removable just like the acrylic inserts sold with different models of sewing machines. I hope this helps.

What did you use for legs?

nancy2001: The insert does not need legs; it fits in the cabinet cut out just like the acrylic inserts that are sold with free arm machines. It is virtually the same, except it is wood. I also like that it is not reflective like the acrylic ones.
