The Artistic SD Quilter SD is mounted on a table that has a drop leaf which allows the user to extend it while working on larger projects such as comforters for a king size bed, and keep it in the down position while working on smaller projects, allowing for more space in the sewing room. With the leaf in the down position, the table is 47 inches wide and 30 inches deep.
When the leaf is opened, the table depth of the table extends an additional 24 inches, giving you a total of 54 inches of workspace. The arm is 18 inches long, large enough for very large quilting tasks, yet not so large that it monopolizes an entire room. The Artistic Quilter SD can be programmed so that the needle stops in either the up or down position. There is also a goose neck lamp attached to the table, which guarantees that there will always be enough light to work on the Artistic Quilter SD at any time of day. It also uses an M size bobbin, which allows you to sew for longer periods of time before having to stop for bobbin changes, and holds up to four large thread cones.A goose neck lamp attached to the table. This feature really comes in handy when you are pressed for time and want to change thread colors in as little time as possible.

No on board threading guides. The good news is the threading instructions are in the owners manual, so there is no need for guesswork as to how to thread the Artistic Quilter SD 18 or how to wind and insert the bobbin.
I do not claim to be a quilter, but know enough about the process to be able to affirm that working on the Artistic Quilter SD 18 is as easy as sitting down and with each hand positioned about six inches on each side of the needle, and simply guiding the fabric in any direction you like while engaging the presser foot. The stitches are even and well defined. The table is solid and does not vibrate at all while you are creating your quilt designs. Even and well defined stitches.
