I Built a Sewing Table Extension (and didn't lose my fingers in the process) || Janome HD5000

[@elainebye9090]

My husband took one look and said, "Now I suppose you want one just like it." (He heard you say you were sanding and wondered why someone who usually sews would need to sand, so I showed him.) Actually, I would like one! It's beautiful 🥰❤️🥰

[@AW-pz3qc]

But you can make it yourself? Let your DH get on with his own stuff. ;-)

[@laurasoto9690]

Love it, u did a great job.

[@johnvandepol2346]

Beautifully done. Once the varnish has truly cured through, you can wax it with car wax just like you would wax your car, and the fabric wil just slide ever so smoothly in all directions.

[@EnchantedRoseCostumes]

Thanks for the tip!

[@AW-pz3qc]

Even a sprinkle with talcum powder works wonders and won't stain fabric.

[@brigidbac1438]

I would pay you for one fitting my sewing machine. Its metal, model from the 70's but I use it daily, its my working horse. Now I have started adventures with patchwork ..A table like that would help a lot....Thanks for sharing.

[@darcaspena4823]

I am into quilting, an in dire need of this kind of table. I have a 1120 singer, an older model and no table is made forr it. Custom tables are too expensive. So I thought, I'll make one and researched. Found you video and it was very helpful!!😊

[@susancook5302]

I'm returning to quilting at 70. I too have been looking for an extension table. Since I also used to do my own carpentry, you have given me to incentive to make my own (and a pattern).. You did a great job with very few "misstep". It really looks professionally done. Please let us know how it works.

[@deniseyoung3738]

Not just an extension table but a beautiful piece of furniture! I think the light wood is best to be able to see your projects as you work on them. Oooooh quilting, can't wait!

[@melbahanska1783]

Girl, I am super impressed! The extension you made is much larger than the one I spent big bucks for, and I’ve been wanting a larger extension. I don’t have any experience with a saw, but I’ll practice on some scrap wood until I feel comfortable

[@SchnuckiLOVEbudgie]

I was more lazy than her. I bought a cheap bed folding table from the supermarket. The ones you use for breakfast in bed, It was only 5 bucks - a sturdy wood plate with foldable plastic feet. I used a hand saw to shorten the feet and cut out the hole to slide my machine in. Took me about one hour and then off I went quilting..... 😁

[@lw7967]

For those who do not do woodworking you could also use foam board. You can make card board legs out of card board folded into squares & hot glued to the bottom. Cover it all with contact paper to make it slippery. Most foam board is 20x30 and only a $1 at the Dollar Store. Don't worry if you screw it up, you are not out much! It you get it right the first time. It might cost you about $2 for foam board & contact paper. I suggest making a template from cardboard or poster board first to get it so it fits nicely then use it for the pattern to cut the foam board. You can double the foam board & legs if you need it more heavy duty.

[@bevann8624]

Great job! Now it's time to make drawers for it, OR, just use utensil or desk drawer dividers to slide underneath. It's a great place to store those often used items we always need close at hand.

[@geanniesimmons976]

Thank you for showing all of the steps. So many videos skip steps or just verbally explain it and it leaves a void in my brain. Your process is how my mind works. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@EnchantedRoseCostumes]

You're very welcome! 😊

Atta gurl!!! Great to see a lady empower herself. Great job!

[@auntmaryspals7978]

This was great! As someone who recently (pandemic times) began sewing and woodworking, this is a keeper. Yours is just beautiful. You did a wonderful job on those rounded corners.

[@bjune1285]

WOW! I never would have thought to do this. It looks great, I'm most impressed.

[@bludeetu321]

Pretty darn good! I've been eying off the acrylic extensions but they are so pricey. Might just have a try myself. Thank you for sharing your project. Cheers.

[@zoeemiko8149]

I made one for my machine from cardboard & Paper Mache. The only cost involved was the glue & sandpaper which amounted to a few dollars. It's as sturdy as one made from wood.. and no power tools! I even painted it with flowers & doodles then coated it with a glossy varnish. I already had the paint & varnish from other projects.

[@alissagonzales735]

I made one from Styrofoam and glue. My brother used Styrofoam and glue when he made a decorated arch for a room for his wife. When she wanted to change the look again it took a small sledge hammer to break it to take down. Yes it is amazing how strong cardboard & paper mache can be if done properly.

[@sherylrichardson5782]

[@jojosewist8921]

Zoe Emiko: an instructional video would be great. What did you use as the base or frame for paper mache to attach to, please? You have my interest!

[@jojosewist8921]

@@alissagonzales735 I am not sure I undetstand the glue, do you mean you glued on the legs, or was glue used over the styrofoam? At any rate, what an interesting idea. I know that Styrofoam structures for trim, crown molding and other usual wood items can be purchased. So why not make a table. Plesse post a video, I would enjoy watching you make one.

[@reginapopihn9853]

Luckily my own Janome had a quilting table extension coming with it, because I hate sanding with the heat of a thousand melting suns. But you did a wonderful job!!

[@susanpilling8849]

Love it, and so timely, I just got a new sewing machine and the extension table is a ridiculous price for a piece of plastic. I will just have to get the tools out. At least you know it isn't going shatter or snap like plastic and it's more environmentally friendly. Thanks for the inspiration. 👏👏👏

[@EnchantedRoseCostumes]

The one I was looking at was $200 plus shipping it to Canada and import fees would have brought it over $300 😳😳😳

[@yolandarowe3094]

@@EnchantedRoseCostumes Yowza! Great job on the project!

[@AW-pz3qc]

@@EnchantedRoseCostumes I've made several extension tables for various machines, but used plexiglass. It's easy to cut with a jigsaw and comes with a removable paper protection layer, so you just draw your pattern on the paper and once completed just peel the paper off and doesn't need painting, only a quick sand on cut edges to remove burrs and protect fabric from snagging. Hint...sometimes plexiglass gets scratched at the hardware store and they sell it much cheaper. Small scratches will polish out with toothpaste but I don't usually bother because pins etc soon scratch it when sewing. You did a great job on your Spruce table and should be pleased with the results.

[@carriem7832]

@@AW-pz3qc Great idea, we have some old plexy up in our barn, especially with high priced wood now…..smooth MDF wood would probably work also…

[@marianelamora508]

maravillosa idea... creo que voy a construir el mío 🤩👍

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

That’s brilliant!! It’s looks so lovely. When my husband used to travel for work he never knew what he would come home to. Once he came home to find I had ripped out the lower cabinets and built my own. He didn’t like the design but then did the job for years until he redid it all with proper cabinets! Then there were the animals lol. He got home once to discover a large cat had taken up residence. I asked the kids and a few friends we all thought it was a wonderful idea. Still miss that cat. Another time he came home to no wall between the kitchen and dining room and subfloor in the dining room. We were taking too long to agree on new floors and the dining room had an off white carpet! Our kids were were 5, 7 and 9 subfloor was much easier to keep up! He doesn’t travel much anymore and he’s ignoring the fact I’m ripping up the upstairs hallway to redo the floors. Then I think I will take the carpet off the stairs paint them and get a nice runner. Grandson still runs up and down so we need something for grip! I think I will have to and a table top for a couple of machines to my list!

[@Ladythyme]

Too funny! That’s what happens when you leave “them thar women folk” alone too long! 😂🤣😂

[@AW-pz3qc]

A woman after my own heart! We built our own house some years ago and then 5 yrs ago I renovated the current house which had been trashed by a previous disgruntled tenant. Just because we are female doesn't mean we are not capable and/or totally useless. I've seen some men who wouldn't know which end of a hammer to use! ;-))

[@cathyfield4765]

Brilliant! It's such a practical extension. This is the first time I've viewed your channel and it was worth the time. I haven't done a woodworking project in ages and seeing this is inspiring.

[@kimmcguigan2285]

This brilliant!! You are so clever! My husband made me one today after watching your video. I love it and thank you for showing us how to made it! You’re a superstar!! 🤩👍

[@darrellfisher7941]

I made an extension table for my brother sewing machine out of painter sticks it cost me $6, and dollar tree cutting mats.

[@helenparker1870]

I did something similar but used kitchen cabinet legs so that I could easily level the height of the table

[@EnchantedRoseCostumes]

That's a great idea!

[@BrokenArrowPottery]

¯\_(**)_/¯♥ Barefoot and using a jig saw & dancing! You should be very proud of yourself! This could be a side hustle for you... but you might enjoy sewing just a bit more. Yours couldn't be better! You are amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@cr3237]

Thank you for this video. I have started quilting using my normal sewing machine and looked at purchasing an extension table. You are right, they are far too expensive for what they are. I too am a little handy with wood, and had planned to make something similar, though I wasn't going to make it go as far as the throat like yours. I am now going to copy yours exactly, having seen the end result! When you are cutting wood or ply, if you put some tape over the cutting line, it reduces the splintering.

[@EnchantedRoseCostumes]

Glad it was helpful, I wish you the best of luck with your table! and thanks for the tip!

[@creativecheersoffashionlau7364]

Looks just beautiful!! Great job! But…. I just got an extended table with my Janome HD5000 when I bought it 😳( and never use it 😉). It was included!

[@lazygardens]

To make rounding the edges faster, use a "pocket plane" - it's a small inexpensive rasp.

Well done!! Sanding is always my least favourite part of pretty much anything I do, whether it's woodwork, auto body or drywalling... congrats on doing such a nice job!

[@stichhalbierer9329]

Lucky me found the acrylic extension table for my sewing machine second hand for 50 €. Never used, with the blue plastic sticking to it, an additional straight stitching plate and a quarter inch foot. The store price is around 200 €. Love it and sew seldom without it. If I hadn’t it already I would follow your instructions.

[@EnchantedRoseCostumes]

Soooo lucky!!!!! You can sometimes find some real gems in thrift stores!!! I am hoping one day I'll come across a smocking pleater 😍😍

WOW!!!!!!!! EXCELLENT! YOU ARE BRAVE WATCHING YOU DO IT SUPER IMPRESSED 👏👏 LOVE THE VARNISH TOO👏👏

[@cliftonmcnalley8469]

Gorgeous extension table! GREAT BIG WARNING TO ANYONE DOING THIS !!!! It is mandatory to treat both sides of any wood with the same finish. If you only paint/varnish/polyurethane one side the table is guaranteed to warp over time. This also holds true with plywood. An unfinished side will absorb more moisture over time than the finished side causing warpage.

[@GlendaAnnett]

Thank you, I have just built a extension table for my sewing machine using your tutorial. I couldn't buy an extension table for my machine anywhere in Australia, only overseas and postage was more than the product. So thank you again for sharing this. I'm 62yo and if I can do it so can you. :)

I LOOOOVE IT !!! Wish I had mu machine still...had to buy food, so had to pawn it & couldn't get it out without $$ -- no work....so I lost my baby, .I'm so sad, not a day goes by I don't think about it, bc I desperately need clothes.
