How do I find out which type of sewing machine will fit in my used sewing cabinet?
I recently found a great deal on an older (1960's) sewing cabinet at a thrift store (solid wood in excellent shape with drawers!). It didn't come with a machine, but appeared to be able to accept a most machines. So I got it and brought it home, hoping to take the machine I have in an older cabinet out. However, I found that the older machine (1950's?) will not fit in my new cabinet. (It mounted differently and was too short.) I plan to sell my old machine and cabinet at a yard sale, and want to find out what kind of machine I need to look for to work with my new cabinet. Instead of having a place for a standard rectangular base, it has more like an "L". The machines I have seen in the stores recently don't match this. I love the cabinet and want to find the correct machine to fit it so I can use it for my hobby sewing. Any help you would give me on this would be great. Thanks!
I bought an older (probably 80's) solid wood cabinet and wanted to adapt it to my new machine. It had a spring-loaded manual lift in it. My BF took out the old lift and base platform. He put in an airlift from Rockler woodworking supply (like the ones in the Horn cabinets you can buy) and made a rectangle platform for the machine to sit on. Then I ordered an acrylic insert to fit around the bed of my machine from http://www.dreamworld-inc.com/ that fit perfectly. The guy at Dreamworld was very helpful, if you measure the opening in your cabinet, perhaps they could tell you what maker your cabinet is or how to adapt it for what machine you want. Good Luck!
