Nanamoms - Thank you for the welcome! I am a terrible night owl, and according to my mother, have been since birth. Thankfully, I only need about 5 hours sleep per night to function like a normal - well, as normal as I'll ever be - human. My two year old would stay up all night if I'd let her but I have to be all responsible and stuff.
I will try to get some pics of the cabinet and machine today. Maybe if I have it pulled out, DH will get to work helping me figure it out when he gets home.
SEW - How wonderful of your husband to make it work for you! It sounds like we have/had opposite issues but need/needed the same outcome.
My machine is new so it doesn't have handy-dandy mounting holes but my cabinet is old; I'd say from the 50's. Disclaimer: only furniture from the 50's is old...not people. My mom is proof! hehe
