Welcome aboard vintagequilter. I'm glad you are still able to do something creative that you enjoy. We would love to see pictures of your work and your machines. I have a black Majestic that is a 15 clone, but I have not sewn with it. My sister found it at a yard sale and bought it for me.

Cari: Thanks, it's just an idea at this point. I'm currently sitting on a couple extra cabinets too. It might be a fun concept to try, kind of like the universal treadle setups people have made. I want to be able to use every machine I own at some point-at least in theory-and it would be more convenient. I think I will start building my boxes to a standard size. Even if it doesn't go further than that, it'll simplify construction. We all have our favorites or go-to machines but I've also come to the conclusion that the only thing harder on a machine (not just sewing machines) than using it is letting it sit too long.
If you want to try one out I'd be happy to repair your cabinet and install a tray to set cases in for you. Rodney |

I need to do more work on that. I should just announce a date & time and hopefully enough people will be interested enough to show.
That is a pretty one. I think I just might take you up on your offer. Then all I have to do is figure out where to set it up... Rodney |
I've got a cabinet that has a spring loaded support for the leaf. How to you get the support arm to stay in? Right now its got tape on it to hold it but when I clean this cabinet up I want the tape gone.

There's two little buttons on the back leaf hinges that come together when the cabinet is closed and do something to hold the support in. I also have one that doesn't work right. If you can get under the cabinet to see how it's supposed to work, I think that it gets gunked up too and needs oiled or worked at to free it up.
