Do you sometimes feel like you need space the size of a continent for your sewing needs? Our Aussie may not be the size of the Australian continent, but it is close! Our Aussie boasts an amazing 31.5 square feet of sewing space. When fully opened with quilt leaf and rolling caddy extended the Aussie is 99-1/2” wide by 79-1/4” deep. Don’t let these measurements scare you! When the quilt leaf is folded down and the rolling caddy is tucked under, the Aussie measures 99-1/4” wide x 22-1/2” deep. With so much surface area the Aussie is ideal for quilting or large sewing projects. The large surface space also means you have plenty of room for multiple sewing machines or sergers. The rolling caddy can be placed in 2 separate locations on the cabinet and it tucks neatly away when not in use. The lift mechanism moves your sewing machine up and down in 3 separate positions and is adjustable for all heights of machines. The wide room in front of the lift allows the sewer to sit comfortably in the correct center needle sewing position. The quilt leaf extension on the back of the cabinet comes with your Aussie and helps to expand your work area, preventing large quilts from falling on the floor behind the cabinet. Lastly, your Aussie features numerous soft-closing drawers and trays for storage of all your sewing notions and boomerangs. When your sewing is complete, safely conceal and secure all your sewing notions and equipment by closing both doors and turning the key to lock them shut. The Aussie is offered in Beech, Teak, and Ash White melamine to complement any décor. Adopt one of our Aussies today!
*Please measure your machine and include knobs, plugs, etc. that extend beyond the body of machine.
The cabinet ships in 5 boxes, weighing 235 #s, by FedEx or UPS.
Sorry these cannot be shipped to PO Boxes.
Note: If you order the Custom Machine Insert, it will arrive after you receive your cabinet because it can take up to 3 weeks to manufacture.
The following machines have known problems:
BabyLock
• Destiny
Brother
• Dream VX8500D
Janome
• Horizon Memory Craft 15,000
The machine fits the platform of the cabinet in flatbed position (a custom insert is available) but you will have to move the sewing machine from right to left to lower into the storage position because of the extension of the front support leg of the machine. Also the knee lifter lever cannot be used with a sewing cabinet due to the length of the lever and how machine sits on the platform in flatbed position.

It would have been hard to put it together by myself. I needed help.
Received my cabinet very quick. It is beautiful, like a piece of furniture. The sewing area is huge and very simple to unfold. The "hide away" pull out cabinet is perfect since I don't always need to use my Serger. The only problem is the machine lift is somewhat hard to use. Takes some strength. But other than that I would highly recommend this cabinet!
