Sort of OT: Sewing Cabinets
I think I would get a lot less wrist fatigue if I had a cabinet into
which I could place my machine flush with the cabinet top. I was looking at Arrow cabinets as they have an air-lift mechanism and look to be reasonably priced. There is no one around here who carries sewing cabinets so I'd either have to special order through my Viking dealer (another brand and more than twice as much but admittedly the quality is probably better -- but $$ is an issue) or order via an on line supplier.....does anyone here have an Arrow cabinet, and if so do you like it (or not??)? Thanks, Irene |

Irene: Yes, I do have an Arrow Cabinet, and I do like it. I purchased it
second hand, but it was 'new' condition. The set up of this model does not place the needle dead center to the cabinet, which is a drawback. This is why the original owner sold it quickly. She was a bit larger than me, needing to position her chair centered and could not use it comfortably. I am able to fit comfortably off to the side of the knee space, in my office chair. I find I can use this set up quite well, although the needle is still a little off center. So, if this is an issue, you need to check this out. The mechanism to raise and lower the SM is wonderful. I love having the SM flush with the surface. I am sure there are different models and I suggest you check which would work best for you. BTW: I think she bought it at a Sears Store, but may be wrong.

Thanks, Irene This lack of room to move within the cabinet space, and this applies to any cabinet, is why I prefer a table for a sewing surface. If people need to hide the sewing machine in plain sight, there could be an argument for the cabinet, but make sure you get one with enough space, where your feet go, to allow you to position yourself to your requirements, when using the machine, not the imagined requirements of the "Average Sewist". Something you should think about. John |

Thanks, John, for the advise.
I've have been thinking of that and several other 'requirements' for me, for several months You are absolutely right. -Irene On Thu, 24 Jul 2008 09:45:42 -0700 (PDT), John wrote: This lack of room to move within the cabinet space, and this applies to any cabinet, is why I prefer a table for a sewing surface.

Check out "Tracey's Tables" for great sewing machine cabinets and such.
They will also custom make to your design and the prices seem reasonable. I saw these at Houston a couple of years ago and they really are nice, and you have plenty of room.
