I found a nice little sewing table at my local favorite thrift shop ($5), has an inset for a machine, and folds up pretty flat. Almost no readable identification on it, and wondered if it would look familiar to anyone who could tell me something about it. It will be a backup spot for a second machine when I need to have more than one set up. thanks!

The table looks to me like a table that I have. It is for a serger. My table is at least 10 years old. It worked very well when I had an Elna serger. I could bring the left side up flush to the machine. But with my Bernina serger I have to keep that side down. But still it is a very handy table for a regular machine also. Hope that helps.

My sister used to have a table like this. She gave it to me and I parted with it last fall. It had to be at least 40 years old, one end had a shorter leg and I had to put a book under it to get it level!

I did use it for several years for my sewing machine, and then for my serger.

It is a old style sewing table. I think you can find one like it in the Horn line, and probably online at Allbrands. Great deal at $5. I have seen them from time to time at Goodwill, but they cost about $25, and the sell quickly.

Currently working on a boys quilt. Sized 40 x 40 inches. It has chickens, chicken eggs, cows, fish, sea life, afield with water, Dachshunds, mini sailboats, and many colorful other fabrics. The blocks are a 4 x 4 finished size, so many of them are needed.
This my 4th quilt in 7 months.

I have one that's very similar if not identical. Mine came with a JC Penney's sewing machine my Great Aunt got in 1974. It's pretty handy.
