  1. I have a 25 year old horn cabinet. Its best feature is that the machine sits flush with surface. The lift is quite stiff and you have to stand up to operate it so I only use it if I need freearm sewing. Its much quicker to put a bobbin in just by feel. The position I sit in is not too good as my knee hits the side of the cabinet but I think the newer models give you a better position with more floor space for the foot control. Before I got my Millie for quilting I used to move the sewing machine out of my cabinet and put it into the side of an old wardrobe with a hole cut in it sitting on two trestle legs with a picnic table with 2 bits of wood on it under the machine!. I set this up in the middle of the spare room and set up another trestle table behind so I had a huge work surface for large quilts to rest on. If you have the space and money get the biggest unit you can,if not you can make something very functional for very little outlay, just alarge counter top and a bit of DIY with a jigsaw. Yvette
