Seeking Advice on Sewing Cabinet
I's like some advice on what sewing cabinets to look for. I want something that my Bernina can sit in flush with the surface and have as much room as possible (within reasonable $$$) to quilt. I may not do full sized quilts, but my attempt to quilt my Lil Twister Valentine Heart wallhanging has been quite frustrating. I used iron on batting for the first time I felt it may it stiffer than what I'm used to. I rolled the sides with bicycle clips but I still didn't have the ease I needed. Even with needle down, every time I adjusted, you could tell. I have an extended bed for my machine, but the clips got caught on the edge and that made a mess. After two borders, I stopped and ripped it all out. I need a better sewing surface. Currently I am using a hollow core door that has drawers added with pipe legs that are the correct height for sewing. I am open to recommendations as I start my quest. Thanks much!

Here is the desk I bought for my Bernina - I ordered it with 1 drop down tray on the right hand side of the desk.

It comes in several sizes, but the tray is the perfect size for the Bernina with its table extension.

I know several people who have Tracey's tables... and love them. They are more affordable than many .

The Bernina fits perfect in the drop down tray. You can order the tray in the middle or on either side of the table.

I have a Bernina 440 and I got a Horn cabinet. It fits the machine perfectly and I just love it. It has a large drop down front to the table and an extra piece that goes over the drawers on the left side. It has plenty of room to lay out a quilt and I use it for cutting too, when I'm not quilting. I got it from my Bernina dealer. Someone had ordered it and then wanted a different color, so it was a good deal for me.
