Looking for a cabinet for an Aria. I do a lot of free motion quilting; want to get an Aria but can't find a cabinet for under $1k. I want to set the machine flush with the table surface. Thank you!

Google 'sewing table hacks' and plenty of ideas will come up. Lots of people have converted tables for doing this.

I have my dreamweaver(BL Unity) in a gidget II. Cost me less than 200

Also keep your eyes open on your local craigslist. I just missed a 'perfect for me' table with a lift for $250. There's another one that's a pretty close set up and about the same price but is much further away. Might just find the right deal at a distance you're willing to drive.

If the Aria is one of the bigger machines, you will probably need the larger cabinet. A Juki 2010 will fit in one of the smaller ones as the bobbin cover works differently. It lifts up from the top rather than opening down from the side.

I have the SewEzis. I like the open ends as I have caught the foot pedal wire trying to raise the bed for embroidery on a Pfaff.

A handy husband or relative could redo a cabinet like a Sauder. You can buy just the lift.

Thanks! The Gidget II is only 40" wide, looking gir 60" minimum. Nice table though!!

Yes, i need a large cabinet. I did google the dIY hacks, so we are considering cutting a hole in an ikea table and putting casters on it so it will roll and i csn angle it towards the tv then back against the wall.
