The Kangaroo can hop right into any sewing room and fit perfectly. The Kangaroo has a three-position airlift that holds most sewing machines comfortably and moves effortlessly up and down. The wide room in front of the lift allows the sewer to sit comfortably in the correct center needle sewing position. The Kangaroo comes with a quilt leaf on the back of the cabinet that folds up or down and will help to expand your work area, preventing large quilts or large pieces of fabric from falling on the floor behind the cabinet. An adjustable shelf for machine storage and a large pull out drawer for all your notions round out the features of this hopping cabinet. The Kangaroo is offered in Beech, Teak, and Ash White melamine to complement any décor. Adopt one of our Kangaroo & Joey sets today!

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.
