Why Customers Love This Machine
Quilters love the HQ InSight Table Extension because it solves the frustration of heavy quilt drag. When quilting sit-down longarms like the HQ Capri or Sweet Sixteen on an InSight Table, bulky quilt edges can pull downward and disturb stitch consistency. This 18-inch pop-up leaf supports the weight of your project right at needle height, allowing you to move your fabric freely and smoothly. When you finish quilting, simply drop the leaf down to reclaim floor space in your craft room.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I attach an extension to both sides of the HQ InSight Table?
Yes. You can install an 18-inch extension on the left side, the right side, or purchase two units to mount one on each side. Adding two extensions increases your total table width by 36 inches.
Does the extension sit completely level with the InSight Table?
Yes. The mounting bracket system is precision-engineered to align flush with the HQ InSight Table surface, creating a smooth, continuous table plane that prevents fabric from catching.
How does the fold-down mechanism work?
The extension features heavy-duty locking hinge arms. Simply lift the leaf until it clicks into its locked horizontal position. To fold it away, release the support hinges and lower the leaf flush against the side of the table.
