Make Your Own Sewing Machine Extension Table

A sewing machine extension table is a great way to add extra workspace to your sewing area. It can be especially helpful if you work on large projects, such as quilts or curtains. You can buy an extension table for your sewing machine, but you can also easily make your own. Here are the steps on how to make your own sewing machine extension table:

Materials:

1/2-inch thick plywood
2-inch wide wood molding
Wood screws
Wood glue
Sandpaper
Finish (optional)

Instructions:

Cut the plywood to size. The size of the plywood will depend on the size of your sewing machine and how much extra workspace you want. A good starting point is to cut the plywood to be 12 inches wide and 18 inches long.
Attach the wood molding to the edges of the plywood. This will help to strengthen the table and give it a finished look. Use wood glue and wood screws to attach the molding.
Sand the table. Smooth out any rough edges or splinters with sandpaper.
Finish the table (optional). If you want to protect the table from wear and tear, you can apply a finish, such as polyurethane or paint.
Attach the table to your sewing machine. Most sewing machines have a slot in the back where you can insert an extension table. If your sewing machine doesn't have a slot, you can use wood screws to attach the table to the machine.

Your sewing machine extension table is now complete. Enjoy the extra workspace!

Tips:

If you want to make a larger extension table, you can simply cut the plywood to a larger size.
You can also add features to your extension table, such as a ruler or a storage compartment.
If you're not comfortable working with wood, you can ask a friend or family member for help.
