Does it drop down for a flat surface for the sewing machine

It doesn't actually "drop down". The left end flips up and has a brace underneath making the entire top a flat surface to place your machine and plenty of room for fabric to lay out. There is a shelf underneath the center section which was perfect for my older machine to sit on out of the way. I also put a cloth storage box on each shelf on the right hand side to keep my things better organized. I absolutely love it!!

No. The only thing the machine actually does is have the set of barbed needles go up and down felting together whatever you have set under them. There is no thread and the space where the bobbin case would be on a sewing machine simply catches the lint from the felting process. It does create a substantial amount of lint while you are working. Learning to NOT move the fabric until the needles start and to stop moving before the needle stop is very important in not breaking needles. I have never broken a needle but I am very careful. Probably watching a YouTube demo would help. Very nice machine.

The sewing table is great when the drop leaf is up there is more than enough room to sew large items.It is also very usable when the leaf is down real happy with my purchase.

Yes, it has to be flat enough so as not to crease. you have to adjust the fabric same as a regular iron. After a while you get use to it and it won't be hard to handle.

Yes, if you place it so that it isn't on the moveable part of the table. I put my sewing machine on one side and my serger on the other - lift the sides to hold the fabric if you are working with a lot. I've found it to be perfect for such uses.

Yes- I did that for my granddaughter. It fits very nicely under the sewing machine foot and sews together very well.

Hi, this machine doesn't have this feature, but, frankly, it doesn't seem so important (at least for me). When I want my needle to be down, I just lower it manually - it's very easy and precise. It was my first sewing machine too and, after sewing on it for the last 2 years I would still recommend it as the first machine.

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.

Yes. It is flat across the top of the table when machine is all the way up. I use it this way when my embroidery unit is attached.

Yes it works fairly well for crafting. This past winter I set up on my patio while in Texas. It was lovely to be outside sewing. I have a small Janome machine.

No. The quilting foot has to be ordered. The machine though is excellent for the money!

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!

Not completely, as there is a plastic ring on the top (in your scenario, the bottom) used for lifting the cover. Therefore, the ring is in the way of it being a flat surface.

You might talk to your local dealer if possible, or try googling "sewing machine insert." I did and there was quite a number of hits. I really like my lift. I use it with my serger and don't have an insert, although it would be helpful if I got one. I may have to check it out.

No I have not, but I don't see a problem using it under a sewing/embroidery machine, it will protect your table, it is well constructed. You will enjoy using the mat.
