I have this Stylist that I want to set free because of its crumbling plastic gears and I was so charmed by it when I saw it...But then I think that I might just want it for the cabinet because it has such a big work surface and lots of drawers and an extra flap on the side just for thread and gadgets....this really is an obsession. I'm wondering if I could pop my other machine into or onto this cabinet...oh, I bet I could
