    You wouldn't believe it!. I searched YT a few days ago to get ideas n "how to". Found very little.
    I ended up doing what you've done. Even have the same Janome.
    And today, YT sends me yr video. Great job.

    This video could not have come at a more perfect time. I have a big sewing table upstairs, to big to move and all the family stuff is downstairs. I wanted to add a sewing table in my Livingroom close to fireplace for winter. Sewing cabinets are outrageous. Plus you have to assemble. I happen to have a 6 foot fold out work table. You've inspired me. Thank you lovely lady. Have a great day.

    Nice idea. But it doesn't fit my sewing machine since I have the spool underneath the machine and always have to change colour or the thread and I would have to continuously lift and put back the machine. But the idea is really good I ever buy an industrial one that has the spool above the machine. I learned something and it's cool,thanks

    This is brilliant. But I wonder how you change bobbin? Do you have to lift your machine up for that?

    • @JohnBabyface
      @JohnBabyface  Год назад

      Hello, on my Janome the bobbin is put in from the top, but if your machine has the bobbin below underneath, than this table would be better for you, here is the LINK: ruclips.net/video/Fo_hoUd9Ggw/видео.html

    @meerabakshi2676 3 года назад

    In India, the sewing machine used to come with its table. Of course, they were with that huge wheel running with the small wheel of the machine with a special leather cord and it was operated with foot pedal plate...e.g. Singer machines. Now with this newer portable design, it is difficult to find the appropriate right table. Putting it away when not need to use takes its toll! WHERE to keep when we want to use it? Really a big dilemma! I liked the idea but don't have all those tools to cut the top and with shoulder problem, it is even more difficult to attach legs to the table etc. Thanks for this wonderful tip, though.

    • @JohnBabyface
      @JohnBabyface  3 года назад

      Dear Meera in my favorite country INDIA,
      so nice to know from where you are watching my videos. I have stayed many times in your country and I love the people, the culture and your fashion the traditionell Saree, I worked sometimes in Bombay as a singer/entertainer at the CENTAUR Hotel directly next to the airport, but I don't know if it is still there now. GOOD MEMORIES ... take care and best greetings from Germany to you Lilo

    How far is the machine from the edge of the table? I want to make sure that it’s a comfortable distance to sew. I have the desk and will have the hole cut out as you have done. Thank you.

    • @JohnBabyface
      @JohnBabyface  Год назад

      Hello Deborah,
      on a normal household sewing machine from the front edge about 10 cm for the cut,
      if it is a Over- or coverlock (as they have a little table in front) 7 cm is enough
      I hope this will help you,
      regards Lilo

    What is a knee lever? Great video!!!

    • @JohnBabyface
      @JohnBabyface  Год назад

      With the knee lever you lift the presser foot, so you have your hands free for the sewing work, it is connected to the machine and is at knee height when you sit in front of the machine

      Well Bella,
      you could make a extra insert, to put on top the slope to make your Pfaff flat, than you can use the same table - just an idea !

    • @JohnBabyface
      @JohnBabyface  4 года назад +1

      Depending on the depth of your machine and how low the machine has to go into the table, you have to work out and get the parts at your building market, for my machine I used on each corner 2 brackets of each 5 cm, these must be connected at the appropriate length

  • @kutabeef
    @kutabeef 4 года назад

    So we don’t need a drop for a sewing table? All the machines have a drop. What is the purpose of that? They’re all so cheaply made you’re very correct and have bought two different brands which I am returning. Unfortunately I can’t make my own table. I live in the UK so any suggestions will be great. Thank you.

    • @JohnBabyface
      @JohnBabyface  4 года назад +1

      If you can not make your own table for the machine, you should try to find a handy man, show him my video to build one for you, and it is really not difficult
