Can this machine be put in a sewing cabinet or must it be table top use only?

We had a sewing cabinet that was 40+ years old, which was built to hold our old Singer sewing machine. The old machine actual screwed into the old cabinet, and the old sewing machine could be flipped upside down, and disappear into the old cabinet. This new machine has no way to be attached to the old cabinet. However, we use the new sewing machine on as a table top, and it works just great that way! The new machine could also be used on top of the old cabinet, but it cannot be attached to or hidden in the old cabinet.

Probably just about any foam will help absorb the vibrations from the sewing machine, but if the machine loses firm contact with the table or floor, it might become unstable and affect the sewing.

Yes you can. We got this for our 11 year old daughter for Christmas last year. She has had so much fun with it. I used my sewing machine.

You would need to replace the machine screw with a wood screw, as this is designed to screw into a metal plate. Other than that, you should be able to use it for a desk.

Sorry, but I don't know. I use it on a sturdy desk. The machine itself isn't overly heavy, but I don't know how it would do on a regular sewing table. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Yes...this is a great table! My wife use it for her sewing projects and there are no problems with it at all!

The table on the cabinet fits into the cabinet on metal sliders hinges in the middle as a drop down; and the entire front of the table then "drops" down to cover the inside front so the doors can be closed over it. I have used the "lift" part as a shorter table by pulling out the part underneath that has rollers on it to the extent that I need. I have two smaller (sewing & serger) machines that I can fit comfortably on either side of the drop down part now used as a shorter table. When I place my heavier full size embroidery machine on it, I extend it all the way out for safety and glance at the roller feet to make sure that machine vibration has not moved them out of position in any way.

Denise, the well the machine fits into so you have a large flat surface to work on is 7 1/2" x 18" so just measure your machine if its that or less you're in, if not you can set the machine on top of the table like the photo shows. Great and sturdy workspace if the dimensions are ok. good luck

Yes it can, it is very useful. I have enjoyed all of the sewing machine feet I purchased from Amazon, the price is at least a third of that at the seeing machine retail stores.

I bought the Cabinet for my Viking sewing machine. I don't know about your Janome but I bet if you contacted the manufacturer they could tell you.

This machine is not for this purpose. I can recommend a "stand-alone" machine. It is Janome E for embroidery. It is the best stand-alone out there and it will do a lot of what you want to do. One of the reasons I like and insist on a stand-alone, is I can sew on my machine and have my Embroidery machine do an entirely different project - at the same time. If you get a sewing and embroidery combo....it ties you up doing one project at a time. I HIGHLY recommend that you get a separate machine just for embroidery.

The Highest stop of the platform is at a level with the top of the cabinet surface. If your machine is agree arm style, you need to set the stop for regular sewing (flat surface) below the surface level of the cabinet. When you maneuver the lift to its maximum height, you can use the free arm status of your machine. The plastic insert for flat sewing will accommodate most machines. I have purchased two of these cabinets and have been very pleased with their versatility!

It is a full fledged sewing machine... Just not the most hearty one I've seen. I wouldn't go sewing denim.

Not sure I understand the question, but you can put the platform the machine sits on in any position you need to make the top of the bed of the machine level with the rest of the table. It's very easy to do. The directions that come with it are very easy to understand.

I don't use it for sewing but I think as long as you lock the wheels or make sure it doesn't roll I don't think it will bounce. It's a great desk/craft table

It's too big to put the entire thing inside a machine. I suppose you could remove all the quilt stitches and remove the outer cover (there is a zipper) and wash the cover. But I can't imagine trying to redo the quilt stitches. I usually make sure I throw a sheet or cover over it in the hopes of keeping it from getting dirty.

I put this into Google "treadle sewing machine cabinets for sale" and got lots of cabinets. I don't know if they are compatible with the new machines, but there is a Yahoo group called Wefixit &lt;http://dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/wefixit/?v=1&t=directory&ch=web&pub=groups&sec=dir&slk=1&gt; and there are many retired sewing machine guys there that could answer your question as to whether the old cabinet would work with the new machine. I'm guessing the shipping for the cabinet would be expensive, so try Craig's list, estate sales, and antique stores.
