It seemed a little pricey, but it was convenient and I wanted it to be safe to use. I think most sew-vac stores should be able to help you.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05506540731006921244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626903798020241817.post-46861586111777029922012-02-21T22:35:09.284-08:002012-02-21T22:35:09.284-08:00I'm embarassed to say I haven't tried sewi...I'm embarassed to say I haven't tried sewing with this yet - I still need to get the table out of the garage (it's buried in the back), because it can't just sit on a regular table.
