Will my machine fit the Gidget I table?

Will my machine fit the opening of the Gidget I table?

The Gidget I sewing table features a small opening for sewing machines that do not exceed 17 3/4" W x 7 1/2" D. If your machine including any protruding cords is equal to or less than those measurements, it will fit the opening.

Can an insert be made for my sewing machine?

If there is at least 1 1/2" of space between your machine bed and the edge of the opening in the table, a custom insert to be made. Here is a video to show you how to measure your machine: Will my sewing machine fit?

Depending on the size of the machine, it is possible the insert will vary in design. The insert you'll receive will be the best fitting insert for your set up. 

This is what you can expect the inserts for the Gidget 1 table to look like:

1 piece-There is enough room around the front/back and left side of the free arm to cover the gaps and make the flush surface:

2 piece/filler plates: The machine is pushed to the left to allow room for cords on the right and filler plates are installed in the front and back to provide the flush surface:

The insert for the Gidget I table will have a lip to catch onto the tabletop approximately 1/8" in thickness. We recommend measuring your machine including the cord (up to the point where it is bendable) to ensure a comfortable and proper fit for you. If you discover your machine is too large, check out our Gidget 2 sewing table. 

Must I have a custom insert to sew in the Gidget I table?

No. It is not necessary to order a custom insert for the Gidget I table. You can move your machine to the left and forward for your fabric to be supported.
