I bought the kangaroo and Joey cabinet. The insert I got came in two pieces. The left sides of the inserts are very thin. I have had my unit for just a little over a year and the one side of the insert has already broke. Insert was $150, very disappointed!
Reply from Sarah at Arrow Sewing:
Hi Denise! We've been trying to get in touch with you about your insert. It should not have broken after only one year of use! We'd like to send you a replacement. Please contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-533-7347, ext. 1 so we can get a replacement sent out to you. Hoping to hear from you soon!

I found the table a little short and the insert does not allow access to the bobbin. Every time I need to change bobbins I have to pop the insert up and that just seems to be a problem waiting to happen.
Reply from Sarah at Arrow Sewing:
Hi Jeanne, thanks for reaching out to us regarding your Custom Sewing Machine Insert. Depending on where your machine loads bobbins, you're right, some of the acrylic inserts do need to be moved to access your bobbin. Don't worry about that insert, though - the kind of use you're talking about is normal use and our inserts are made to handle it! They're durable, long lasting, and best of all, they give you that smooth flatbed surface for straighter stitches and less pulling. We hope it continues to work well for you for that purpose. Thanks for choosing Arrow Sewing, and Happy Sewing!
Reply from Sarah at Arrow Sewing:
Hi Jeanne, thanks for letting us know how your custom insert is working for you! You are correct - on some machines, the completely flush sewing surface created by using the custom acrylic insert gets in the way of swapping out bobbins. Luckily, our custom acrylic inserts are durable and warp-resistant, so no matter how often you have to swap out a bobbin, you can be sure you'll get that perfect flush sewing surface when you drop your insert back into place. Thanks again for taking the time to reach out. Wishing you Happy Sewing!

I love Arrow Sewing and their customer service is amazing! I have 2 custom sewing inserts and they both fit perfectly in my Aussie sewing cabinet from Arrow! They shipped quickly considering they are custom made.

The insert is perfect! It makes sewing so much easier to sew at a flat level. Although, my cabinet platform is not level when brought up to use my embroidery module. I did use the troubleshooting web sits/YouTube and still not right.
Reply from Sarah LePage:
Hi Cindy! We're so glad you like your custom insert! And we can help you get your platform level. Please call our amazing Customer Service department at 1-800-533-7347, ext. 1 between 8:00am and 4:00pm CST and let us walk you through adjusting your lift platform. Looking forward to talking to you!

Please NEVER stop making these. I can't believe what a difference this insert makes with my sewing time. Worth every penny I paid and I'm super cheap!!!! All my hand and arm pain is gone now that I'm sewing on a completely level and slick surface. You guys are great!!!! Your efforts to make a good product is so appreciated! I would not hesitate to recommend to any seamstress. Great product!

Ordered the Judy cabinet and custom insert for my Viking 690Q from my local shop. Picked up the cabinet today and was told the insert was not available for my machine. The shop owner said she never had this occur. She offered to order an acrylic custom table for me. Very nice of her, but I would have preferred having your insert to make the entire cabinet flush and at a lower height. Very disappointing this was not available for my machine, which is only 2 years old.

It’s perfect! I’ve upgraded to a sewing table and a Janome Skyline S5 and the insert is exactly as described and fits beautifully!

My insert fits perfectly and arrived within two weeks of placing my order, ahead of the Arrow Christa sewing cabinet that I ordered through my local sewing store. I have a Juki TL18 QVP which I’ve been using on my dining table. Having the dropdown and insert configuration resets the machine at the perfect height for me. I absolutely love my setup now. Thank you, Arrow Sewing!

Love it except it needs to be about 1/2 inch more cut out on left side because my machine power cord and foot pedal cord are a bit pinched on the right side.

I just, last week, set up my new Juki Kieri. I did have a smaller Juki in my sewing cabinet with an insert. How happy and surprised was I that I did not have to move the lift table! Everything fit perfectly! Thank you for your wonderful Kangaroo cabinets and inserts!

I am very pleased with my new insert that I purchased for my new gidget II sewing table. Both work like a charm. Contemplating buying another table for my older machine and , of course, another insert. Great products.

I was hesitant to order this because my sewing machine is a vintage Elna from the 1970s. However, Arrow came through and I am sooo pleased!!!!! It fits around my mother’s old machine perfectly! Thank you, Arrow!! : D

I was a little nervous ordering this insert because I had an older machine. I just supplied the make, model and cabinet. They did the rest! Fits perfectly! I’m glad they ship to Canada. ❤️

Agree with Julie Smith 2018 comments. I have 3 inches of dead space to my right. I cannot move my chair into the designated space because the machine is snugged to the left side of the space. I am constantly knocking stuff into the 3 inch hole. An I going to die as a result…no. Am I happy with my insert overall…yes. I am going to cut a piece of plexiglass to cover the hole and move forward with my sewing life.

Ordered the insert for my Janome, It was a PERFECT fit and just needed a buffing with some mild polish to make it smooth as glass I am having so much fun using the kangaroo table with the insert, much easier on my neck/shoulder! Thankyou

Had one for my Babylock Soprano and it perfect, worked great. Bought a second one for my Stellaire which is a larger machine so it was in two pieces. Not strong in some parts and broke in half on one side.

I love my insert. It fits my machine perfectly and now the material glides without getting caught in the gap. My stitching is also more even. I'm a newbie quilter and this has made it a lot less frustrating. I should have gotten it a long time ago.

After a few height adjustments on my cabinet, the custom insert fits perfectly. I only wish that the included ruler sticker was not see-through as the black markings blend in with the brown of my cabinet and I can't see it very well.

I love my insert! I had one for my old machine, and had put off getting one for my new Viking as I wasn't sewing so much. I've started sewing again (thanks shelter-in-place for something positive), and it is a dream. I love it when I'm quilting and sewing both. It's also easy to remove if I want to access the arm of the machine or anything else. Also, I love the ruler that I have adhered to the underside of the insert. I use it all the time.

My insert arrived today and it looks beautiful! Despite having supplied photos of the machine I worried it would be difficult to get an exact fit for my Janome CM4700 and I was right. It fits well enough to use but is just the slightest bit too snug around the butt of the machine (motor area) and forces the insert to rise. The cabinet has been lowered so the insert is flush and fits correctly around the free arm and I don't think it will interfere with running the machine. Delighted with the included rule.

I really like my new insert. It fits perfectly around my Pfaff Quilt Expressions 4.2. I would have liked to have the option of placing the machine a little to the right so I could have a larger work space. I believe the cabinet is sufficiently robust to handle the off center placing. As it is I have a little wasted space to the right of my machine. Really happy these are US made. Thanks.

Love it, makes more space usable around the machine for scissors and pincushions etc. I was using the top of the table that came with my Janome 7700 but this is so much nicer.

I love my new insert for my Bertha cabinet for my Pfaff Creative 4.5. It fits beautifully! One small inconvenience is having to pull the insert out to change bobbins. But it’s a small inconvenience compared to the appearance and convenience of my beautiful desk!! It was delivered very quickly and my chats with your team were wonderful..they were very helpful and courteous.

The fit of my insert for the Bernina 770QE is perfect. I wish there was more clearance for the knee lifter lever to the right on the Arrow 2 Gidget table. I did check the box telling that I had the knee lifter but my machine sits down lower in the table and the knee lifter is somewhat compromised.

I am pleased that the insert fits well around my 25 year old Viking (Husqvarna) # 1 + machine. I would have been very happy had the machine insert been better placed in the cabinet opening. As it is, I have to sit as far as possible to the left in the cabinet opening to sit centered under the sewing machine presser foot. I am disabled and sit in a wheelchair. The cabinet opening barely has enough opening to comfortably sit over the presser foot with the insert opening centered on the sewing machine. I actually have to lean a little to the left and this gets tiring after a little while. I also own a serger machine and am thinking of buying a new cabinet for it with an inset. That way I don't have to change anything on the level of the Olivia cabinet for the sewing machine. I am 69 years old and have waited for a sewing machine cabinet since I was a teenager. Arrow is finally a quality and style that I could afford. Thank you, (also to my husband for not complaining about the cost)!

I am so very please with the insert for my Epic980Q. It is a HUGE machine, and the insert fits perfectly. I really missed it when I upgraded from my previous machine, and am very glad that items are not longer falling on the floor as often (the area is now closed up by the insert). Great customer service too.

The insert fits perfectly into the Gidget table for my bernina 530. I had several emails from the company to make sure the measurements would accommodate my kneelift. This is my second time purchasing an insert for my machines. I highly recommend this company.

Happy to have a level sewing surface, but the opening on the insert for the Baby Lok Elaggio Plus sits too far to the left making it necessary to sit crowded to the left of the table in order to have the sewing head directly in front of me. (I have the corner unit table.) Otherwise, I am sewing off to one side which is very awkward. There is plenty of room on the right side of the insert to reposition the opening.

Three words...I LOVE IT!!!! I had no idea what I'd been missing! I will definitely order again when I buy another table for each of my other machines. It fits so incredibly perfect, you can take it out easily, too, and it is so nice having a completely flat work surface. I just can't say enough good things about this insert! Whoever thought of this is a genius!

I am so happy with my custom insert for my Brother Dream Creator. The fit is perfect. The surface is glass smooth. It is clear, so it takes some getting use to, but you will love it. Attach the clear ruler to the underside for quick reference. Such a great addition to my Arrow Joey cabinet!

I like my custom insert. I would have preferred for my machine to sit further to the right. As it is I have moved my machine to the right and I have a gap of 1 1/2- 2 inches at the end of the free arm. Because of the configuration of the table I need that extra room for my sewing chair to turn.

I love my custom sewing machine insert. I bought 2 one for each of the machines I own. My only problem is with my wallaby cabinet. The screws for positioning the pneumatic lift we’re so flimsy the grooves for the screwdriver fell apart and it’s impossible to adjust between the two machines now. I’ve had to stack books up under my shorter machine when I switch.
