Just found this on the allbrands website. Looks really well-designed and useful. Any recommendations?

Sorry I can't help, but I wanted to say that looks REALLY COOL! I'm not sure I'd want to pay $200 for it - maybe your DH or someone could MAKE something similar for you??? But that's a really cool idea!!

I agree - that looks very cool. It seems that it sits behind your sewing machine? I wonder if it works with all sewing machines. I added it to my amazon wish list. While I'm not going to pay that price... if someone wants to gift it to me, well I'll take it!

Very cool idea, especially for those with tight work areas around their machines.

But knowing myself, I'd have to clamp it to the table, as I would most likely stuff it so full it would be tipping over .

edited to add - On closer look, I'd love the extra lighting. I don't know that the instructions up on top would work for me, that's out of bifocal range.

With fluttering hands, I say CHECK OUT THE REVIEWS of this web store before you order anything expensive. They have, nearly every time, the best prices... but... yeah, check out the reviews. That's all I'm gonna say. :(

It would be nice to combine it with a Sew Steady Extension Table.
