  • Patent number: 6058850
    Abstract: An adjustable table assembly for use with a portable sewing machine and positionable upon a table surface is provided. The assembly comprises a main table base having a first edge, a second edge opposite the first edge, and a substantially planar top surface between the first edge and the second edge. A support member is mounted to the first edge of the main table base and extends at an angle from the top surface of the main table base creating a tilt angle between the main table base and the table surface. An adjustment mechanism is associated with the support member for selectively adjusting the tilt angle of the main table base to a desired tilt angle. The main table base receives the sewing machine thereby tilting the sewing machine at the desired tilt angle.
