I have the new Horn cabinet for the 830, personally I think it stinks. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Have you "Tinkled" today?

What don't you like about the new Horn for the 830?

I'm dying to know why you don't like the Horn cabinet for the 830, too, Tinkle. And how much did you pay for that cabinet, BTW?

I have a Koala quilting cabinet. I very much like that the machine sits lower than the table top and sews at a level that is in essence flush with the table. But I banged my knee ALL THE TIME

when I used the cabinet....... It now serves as my table for my large ironing surface.

I currently have my sewing machine sitting on a Sam Club folding table and use a large Bernina "quilter's table" so I have a larger surface to sew on. This is an improvement from the Koala cabinet, as it gives my legs more space, but the sewing machine sits so high that it is not a good ergonomic height for my neck and back. :shock:

So next time around, I am going to find an inexpensive large sturdy kitchen table... get someone with a table saw to help me cut a hole in it and build a shelf underneath for the sewing machine to sit on. (Hopefully the third time will be a charm!)

jojojo OFFLINE Posts: 53 Thank you received: 1	I'm interested to see what cabinet/table you are sewing on and storing with. Did you buy it from a shop or internet? Anyone with a Koala? Bernina's sewing cabinet? Thanks, jo
