Sewing tables have come a long way. Only a few years in the past, flexibility was a luxury. Fast forward to the present moment, and there is so much variety it's almost impossible to choose.

But one thing anyone has to realize before buying a sewing table is that just because there are a handful of options doesn't mean you have to go for the biggest or the most expensive.

In this article, we're going to be looking at a few criteria to consider before choosing the best sewing table for you.

1. Flexibility & Mobility 

One of the most important things to consider in a sewing machine table is flexibility and mobility. Now while we all love a flexible table, not everyone needs one. If you will be moving the table around, though, then it is advisable to go with an adjustable platform or airlift mechanism for more efficient movement.

2. Additional Hobbies

Of course, it is important to consider the actual sewing aspect of your sewing table. But sometimes, it also pays to consider other things you'll be doing on it. 

For instance, if you happen to have a hobby in arts and crafts, you may go for a table that is capable of doubling as a craft table while hiding your machine. This way, you can switch seamlessly between sewing and crafting.

3. Storage Options

Different Sewing tables come with different storage sizes. But just because a table has ample storage doesn't mean it's the right one for you. Some don't even need a lot of storage for their simple activities.

If you happen to require storage, however, then a sewing table with storage will be the most logical option.

4. Machine Size

It goes without saying that the size of the sewing machine goes a long way to determine the appropriate size of the sewing table. If you're going to be running a large machine, then you will obviously need a large table.

5. Surface Area

Lastly, it is possible to get a sewing machine table with a large surface area even when you're not necessarily using a large sewing machine. Large surface areas are great for those who love to spread out and keep their tools organized on the table with adequate spacing.
