Wish I had a table like that when I do my canvas.

Here is my machine:

Sewing with a home machine is an exercise in futility.
Nice machine and table!

The casters on your Consew K table are very nice. Did you find ones w/ holes that matched the holes on the legs?

I was unable to locate casters that matched those holes, so I went w/ a four-bolt caster and an intermediate plate.

For my usage it is MUCH better to be able to roll the heavy machine and heavy table out of the way (versus dragging the machine) until I am ready to use it again.

Here are my casters on my Consew K Leg table.

I will have to look again. Been ages since I put them on. Out of town until Monday.
