Sandra Darlington Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I have a Horn cabinet for my Bernina or my Babylock. I bought 2 inserts - one for each type of machine, so I could swith them. My cabinet closes completely when not in use. I bought it on sale several years ago and paid about $800 or $850 for it. It seems like a lot, but I have been completely happy with it. I also like the Koala brand cabinets, as they seem be very much like the Horn cabnets, but with more choices. I also remember seeing (I think it was in Keepsake Quilting's catalog) directions for purchase to build your own cabinet. If your DH is handy, perhaps that would be a good way to go. (Note: I had to purchase a ready made one) :mad: I'm sure you will get lots of answers from the folks on this forum. Everyone seems so very helpful. Good luck.

BarbWetzel Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 My lovely husband built me a great sewing cabinet, with a cutting table on the back side. It is L shapped with 6 drawers.. I love it.. I showed him a picture in a magazine and two months later I got a great sewing table. Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I cheated like Norece, I used a 5 foot folding table to make mine out of...I didn't use the plastic insert because both of my Janome's are the same shape so I traced them and made the cut to fit them...when I change sewing machines I then will rig up something with plastic.

dixieqwv Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 My DH brought home a wonderful computer table ... A friend of ours cut a hole into it, made a shelf and poof a super great sewing table. I love it.

Sandra Darlington Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 You gals are really lucky to have DHs that are so handy. Dixie - That table looks totally professionally made! I am so happy for everyone who has a handy hubby. Mine has trouble screwing in a light bulb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dixieqwv Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Thanks Sandra and Mama. I read what I wrote ... sorry DH only brought the table home ... he can't drive a nail straight. A friend of ours (terrific handyman) cut the hole .... the webshot photo pretty much show exactly what he did ... I can't believe the difference in my sewing with the machine level with the table.

pfrost Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Dixie, where did your DH find this computer table? This is a really wonderful setup! Pat AZ:cool: Mille Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieqwv Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Pat, he 'found' it at work sitting alone and sad in a corner. It is thrilled to be of use and happy again. LOL The neat part about the table is that each side can be raised/lowered independent of the other. When my GC want to sew I sit them across from each other .... one on the Janome 6500, the other on a Janome 760. Works great and I'm able to help both girls at the same time. GS sits on my lap when he sews. His 1st project .... Santa Cookie Pocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfrost Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Tell him he did a great job on that Santa Cookie Pocket! He is a cutie. Give him a hug for me! Pat AZ:cool: Mille Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieqwv Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Thanks Pat and Sandra. He's all boy and 6. He wanted to know how the needle went up and down so figured the best way was for him to sew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Just keep his little fingies out from under that needle!! What a cutie-pie! Mine is so big now.... but he's still cute. He'd want to know about the needle too. Mechanical things, boys. Aaahhh........ (That's a sigh like the one the Irish mother in Music Man gives the music man when he compliments her... remember?) Good luck with your sewing table, Mama! I think you deserve an award just for being you already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
