My sewing room is in our finished basement and I would love to be able to have my Machine upstairs sometimes. We have alot of company so having a Gidget II would allow me to put it out of the way when people stay for weeks at a time and then I could pull it out again. Also would be great to take to my Mom's so we could sew together. She is 84 and wouold love for me to come sew.

My family does alot of camping and outdoorsy things in the summertime and It would be great to be able to take the Gidget II on some of those adventures and still get some quilting done. We are looking to upgrade our camper this year and I would love to be looking for one that would fit the Gidget II perfectly!

I love to sew where ever I can. I have kids who sew also, so I could take it with me when I baby sit or  when we all get together to sew.  I would share it with them (maybe).  My daughter would love to borrow it as she has a condo, so not much room to sew.  She would be able to move it around any where she needed to.

I would take it to retreats.  Our small group goes to a 3 or 4 day retreat several times a year--for 7 years now.  We have gone to retreat centers, homes that on the national historic register and cabins on a lake, so our conditions are varied. We have stitched in dining areas, used kitchen counters for cutting and played kneesese (bumping knees under the table because our space is so limited.  The Gidget II would be a wonderful gift for all of us to share.

This is just what I've been needing. I would take it everywhere I go to sew. When I visit my son out of town, I do a lot of sewing for his new house. It's an older home and they are refurbishing inside and out. This house just cries for quilts and 1930's decoration so the Gadget II table would get a lot of use. Also my grandson in another state wants to learn to quilt so this would help me make that possible since there isn't a good place to set up his 'class room'.

This table would be a tremendous blessing to me.  I do a lot of sewing for charity work for my church and I end up using the kitchen table because I have a small home.  Of course, that necessitates putting everything away when dinner comes.  With this table I can set up anywhere I want and when I'm not sewing the table folds conveniently for storage.  And putting dinner on the table won't be a big hassle anymore!  Good luck to everyone entering the contest.  I'm sure whoever wins will love this wonderful gift!

At first glance, I wasn't going to enter this give-away.  Obviously the Gidget II is too large for my Bernina 440 - I must need the original Gidget with smaller cut-out.  Then I watched the videos linked from your website, and I saw that an acrylic insert can be ordered to exactly fit my machine and fill the space of the bigger cut-out.  And since the Gidget II has wheels to help in transporting it, then I say, let's load this baby in the horse-drawn sleigh and head to grandmother's house or the nearest quilt retreat.  How nice to be able to sit and sew at the proper height rather than using my machine on top of a retreat table which tires my shoulders and wrists.  Thank you for offering this fine gift.  I, like all the others here, would be delighted to win it and take it "over the river,"  err, "TO the river." (I live on the Mississippi!)

I have a friend who is going to teach me to thread paint in the new year and it would be wonderful to have this for my machine on the days I go to her house.  She has her own sewing tables and this would give me my own space as we work.  Because I have grasping problems with my hands, I have many notions that I use, but I think having purposeful notions for our quilting/sewing craft is the way to go.

I would take the Gidget II everywhere we go camping at bluegrass festivals to replace:  folding tables that vibrate just when the machine really starts purring along; tiny dinnettes in the travel trailer that were never designed to be ergonomic for sewing; rickety center pedestal tables that bob and weave when you just breathe on them; and picnic tables that are gooey and snag, rip, and clutch at my quilting.  Then when I return home, Gidget II would become my BFF at quilt groups, retreats, festival classes, and even in the living room when the winter winds are roaring and I want to quilt as close to the wood stove as possible..

The Gidget II table would be perfect for days when I want to sew downstairs in the family room instead of my sewing room.  In additon, It would also be perfect for all those Guild workshops and for when our mini group quilts together. Oh how I would love to begin the new year with this wonderul table.  Thank you for giving me the chance to win!

How perfect a Gidget II would be for me!  My house is for sale, and when we have a showing, I have to quickly put my sewing room in order.  Being able to fold up my sewing table and stash it would certainly make the room appear larger (and less cluttered).  Then I could take it to our guild retreat next summer also!  My daughter-in-law is a new quilter, she could use the Gidget II when she comes over to sew with me!  Wow...I think I could make a rather large list of the ways I could use a Gidget II!!

Works well but takes up alot of room in my sewing room. I think this would open my room up to more possibilities. Would be a great addition to have.

I come from a rather large family of quilters.  We have started a tradition we like to call "Quilt Camp". Hosted by a different member of the family, it's a week long (Or however, long you can stay) get together. There is a challenge quilt where your name is added to a pot for each block you make and at the end a winner for the quilt is drawn. There are door prizes, giveaways and LOTS of fun.  The meals are shared so not one person is stuck cooking.  It is SO fun to go and see everyones projects, and a great time to visit, and get some quality time in to work on some projects.  So should I be a lucky winner I would take this awesome Gidget II with me as when we all get together there are as many as a dozen machines set up.  So it would be awesome to have the extra table space.

If I had the Gidget 2 table there is no where I would not go with it. I would take it to the beach on vacation even-and when my husband askes me about it , I would tell him it is my favorite surf board!!! I would take it into our family room when they are watching tv---so I can join them and sew at the same time-keeping an eye on my young son and all of his friends. I would take it to my sewing friends homes when we have sewing dates, I would take it to my guild meetings to show it off and for when we have classes, I would take it to my quilting retreats--so that I could sit and sew in style and comfort while I am having total me time. I would take it to my in laws house in Long Island so I could so and get away from all that family get together anxiety and maybe help them to get the sewing bug. i would put it out on the back door deck under the shade to sew when it is too hot in my sewing room in the summer. I would even be tempted to take it to work so that I could sew during my brake time!!!!!

I would take the Gidget 2 to my quilt club, the Waterloo Needlework Club, and leave it there so anyone who brings their sewing machine in to sew would have a great place to work.  We sew lap quilts to give to senior centers, baby quilts to give to hospitals, and quilts to give to homeless shelters.

I live over the river and through the woods, and friends and family gather here.  When we sew, it depends on how many of us there are...small gatherings are in the main house, medium gatherings are in the lodge craft room and large gatherings can use the bunkhouse/classroom.  We move tables a lot...and use some that are quite makeshift.  (This used to be a B&B and retreat center)  The gidget would be a great addition!

I repeat 1963!!!  I think I am due for an upgrade!  I live in a very rural area, and it would be great when my quilter friends come for a mini-retreat to have another 'real' sewing table available, rather than the dining room table. It also would be great to take along for distant retreats to be able to sew at the right heighth for comfort. Thanks for thinking of us and making this special Christmas prize available.

Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's house they come - the daughters and grandaughters for sewing marathons.  Sometimes they bring extra sewing machines and sometimes they don't.  Either way, we always run out of space on the dining room table. The Gidget II would allow us that desperately needed additional working space for those sewing days.  It would also go with me to their homes for sewing days.

Being retired, I am able to travel to my daugher's house for extended periods of time.  I always take my sewing machine to work on my projects as well as projects for her family and her home.  How great it would be to have a portable table to take and use rather than commandeering her dining room table.

Gidget II would go everywhere I go - camping in my travel trailer, quilt classes, to my son's home when I visit, out on the deck for sunny summer stitching.  What a boon this would be.  Now if only my cutting table were that portable!

Taking ONES OWN SPACE IS ANOTHER PLUS, ESPECIALLY TO RETREATS WHERE SOMETIMES THERE JUST ISN’T ENOUGH TABLE AREA TO CUT AND SEW FOR ALL THE PARTICIPANTS TOGETHER.

I’ve got my Gidget in tow!

Over the fabric and through the stash

Oh how the throngs do grow!

Some step on toes,

As through the aisles we go.

Over the fabric and through the stash

I have fabric, I can play

Registers ring

Oh how they sing!

Hurray for half off to day!

Over the fabric and through the stash

Fast to my waiting car

Gidget table so sweet

And half off sale treat,

Fill my trunk now it’s ajar.

Over the fabric and through the stash

And straight through the double door.

I must be quick

My quilting pick

This is my favorite chore

Over the fabric and through the stash

Hurrah for fun!

I also have to clean up, and fold up the table and unfold it when I want to sew (which is daily) I have caught the quilt bug. and love it, but it's such a pain up and down, I spend more time setting up. This Gidget II  would be a real happy wonderful gift to me, I could just roll it out and with little effort start sewing. Then the kids can sing "over the river to grandmas house too get the quilt she made for me".

My mother and I do not have a sewing room. It would be great to put a sewing machine on the Gidget II and move to where we are working, like in the dining room to sew next to where we cut, or in the utility room to sew next to where we iron, or even in the hallway. Plus, instead of hunching over a nightstand to sew, we would actually have a real, steady table. Yes, we do get creative, especially when both of us are making a quilt at the same time. Boy, do we need a great Arrow table. Of course, we could also take it with us through the woods (our lane goes through piney woods) to the river house where we once lived and cannot find a buyer. We have wheelchair ramps at both houses and the Gidget II should be easy to move! Through the woods and to the river, to Grandma's house we go!

I would love to have a Gidget II so I could take it with me when I go to visit my 86 year old father.  Sometimes I have to go a week or two without sewing and that really slows the progress of some of my projects.

Being a member of a quilt guild, I travel to different homes when we do Community Service projects.  Having the Arrow would make it so easy to sew on a level surface when making quilts, shawls and placemats.  A couple of quilters, I know, have one and can't say enough good things about it.

I don't usually sew when we travel, but this would be great to take if I did. Great idea for the fishing trips I get roped into - I could sew in the cabin while he's out catching supper! I would definitely use this in my dining room by the window and could easily move it to the spare room for the best light there, too. I usually sew at my kitchen table, then have to move the machine, so it doesn't get set up for a project until I know I will have some time uninterruped. Rarely do I sew in the basement, because the light is too low there. Now I'm daydreaming about my "someday" sewing room.

I would carry it to my family room!  In my upstairs craft room I have my main sewing machines set up on an office desk.  I don't sew much because my room is soooo messy, you can hardly walk in there.  The desk is too high to comfortably sew but does serve its' purpose.   It just that I have stacks of books, material, and other crafts supplies crowding out the desk and room.  I am so unorganized and have trouble concentrating enough to clean it up.  But my husband doesn't want a mess anywhere else since I have this room.  So I could carry this table downstairs to sew in the evening, watch/hear TV, and be in the same room as my husband.  After I am done sewing for the evening, I could move my machine upstairs, fold the table and "poof", no mess!  And I would sew more often because I would actually have room to do it!

The first place I'd take my Gidget II would be upstairs to my sewing room.  When I use my Bernina 440QE for embroidery, the rickety computer stand I'm using flies around so much I'm afraid it's going to collapse!  But the thought that brings me the most joy is when I picture taking my new Gidget II and sewing machine on a trip to my sister's house.  I could set it up next to her sewing table and we could work on projects together - talking and sewing and having our completed projects to remind us of the wonderful time we shared.

Mine would not have to travel very far, but it sure would be handy. I live on the farm of my friend and her husband. My friend and I have all our sewing and crafting "stuff" in a mobile home on the property. It's wonderful when the weather is warm because we can leave everything set up. During the winter, on the other hand, we have to take our projects and machines over to the main house since we can't afford to heat the trailer (too old and not enough insulation). This means we have to use the dining room table and take down at every meal. The Gidget would allow us to set up in the main house and then just push it out of the way when not working and during the warm months it would be set up in the trailer.

I work as a relief second cook for a Great Lakes shipping company and rotate through 7 different ore ships relieving the regular second cooks when they have to get off for vacation, or whatever reason. When I get to the ship I'm going out on, a sailor on the ship lowers a rope and either lifts my stuff up and on in a canvas bucket or (if the object is larger than the bucket) has me wrap and tie the rope around the item and it's hoisted up over the railing that goes around the deck. I then climb a ladder and get myself up on. I have a light-weight machine (Janome 720 gem) for traveling with and have learned to carry only needles and thread that will work for my quilting cotton or I would find myself mending all kinds of work clothes! If I win the Gidgit, it will travel the Great Lakes with me for a long time.

It has taken me nearly a year to get back enough energy to quilt and we recently took a 5 week trip around parts of New England and into Nova Scotia. I took my sewing machine with me but found the table in our RV too high to use the machine on. Other tables were too low. The Gidget II looks like it would be just right! Lots of advances in cancer treatments and I'm hoping to stay in remission for a very long time but...I'm living every day to it's fullest doing the things I love as much as I can - quilting and traveling in our motorhome. Winning a Gidget II would help me do both with ease! Thanks for the opportunity to have a chance at winning one.

I would love the Gidget II.  I would be able to go to some Sew Days with it.  Also, it would be great to be able to move my sewing machine from the guest room to another room and still be able to sew.

I would love to take my machine outside on to my patio to quilt.  The natural light and fresh air would be inspiring.  I'd also love to go on a retreat, I've never been on one.

My Gidget II would travel around my house, as I frequently need to be able to sew in a different place.  I think my Gidget II would especially love my "sunroom" where it gets up to 80 degrees on a sunny winter day!  If Gidget behaves, I might even take her camping in our trailer to some beautiful scenic site.

I am a beginner at quilting. I am trying to organize me a space for my quilting and this table makes a great start! I am really excited about getting started.

I would totally take mine outside to sew in the spring, summer and fall!! (Forget the outdoors in the winter) I love the outdoors and that's the only drawback to loving quilting!! Well that and a stiff neck at times... lol

I have been wanting this Gidget II for many reasons and places.  It would be great for sewing on the patio in the summer.  In the winter we do a lot of camping and fishing (yes...in the freezing cold and snow). The evenings in the motorhome are for patchwork or applique either by hand, or my beautiful antique hand crank sewing machine (who wants to listen to a generator in the great outdoors?).  It would be so much sturdier and safer than what I use now to put my machine on.

The Gidget II would also go to Oregon with me in July for the four days prior to and including the Sister's Oregon Outdoor Quilt Show. In the late evenings I quilt in the motel room.  This would be so much better than the usual motel desk.  Thanks for having the contest!  Such a great prize.

I would love to take my Gidget II in my 5th wheel as we leave for the winter and work on building sites for churches, camps, Katrina houses, etc. It would make my sewing experience so much better and easier! Especially since I have to get lots of quilts completed to get ready for my Quilt Guild's Quilt Show in April - I am going to be our Featured Quilter! Thanks for this opportunity! Merry Christmas fellow quilters!

If I had a Gidget, I'd take it to my friend's cabin and stitch away in the beautiful peace and quiet!  I'd look out the windows, between the trees and look at the lake.  It sounds so good that I might even take off and do it without the Gidget!!

Well, Gidget and I would go everywhere together, especially sewing retreats.  BUT, it would also be great to take into the sewing room to sew in the same room with my hubby.  (he likes to have me around)

Once a month we have a quilting buddies get together, and a table like this would be wonderful because of the portability. It is always difficult for us all to find a spot for our machines and sometimes we end up using the kitchen counter which is less than ideal.  The Gidget would be a blessing

I have a small 2 year old child and i can't seem to sew when he is home because my sewing room is upstairs and his play area is downstairs. so i don' t get as much sewing in and projects done as i would like..with this I would be able to bring my machine downstairs and still watch him and let him play with his toys while i would be able to sew on my recent project

Over the river and through the woods to our cabin in the woods we would go--to have a nice quilting time by myself

Over the river and through the woods,

Off to the retreat I would go;

As per my name I sit rather low,

This'd work and you know then I could,

Just sit and Sew...Sew...Sew!

I attend at least 2 quilt retreats per year so that would certainly work!  Additionally, I have an older friend who doesn't drive to see me so I go to her--this would be perfect because I usually use a table that's too low and my back hurts from hunching over. Thanks to Arrow for offering a table to your readers!

Tuxedo would be my choice as there is a black and white quilt pattern that I have been wanting to make and Tuxedo would be perfect.
