Default Hi from Minnesota.

Hi from New Ulm. New here. Does anyone know how to micro adjust a push down vintage Koala Cabinet? My machine sits too low. Any advice would be helpful. TIA.

Sorry, I don't have any knowledge of your cabinet but welcome to the board. Just a suggestion, but have you tried youtube or google? Perhaps, you might find an answer there.

Julie Greene, welcome to the Quiltboard from Kansas! When I read New Ulm, MN. I thought wow, I have an aunt and uncle who lived there for 40 years or better. I have no advice on your question either, but wanted to welcome you. Lena1952"s suggestion to google is good advice.

Welcome from Ontario, Canada. I don’t have a Koala cabinet but if your machine is a bit low, I might try a couple of layers of rubberized shelf liner underneath the machine. If you need more height, cutting a foam child’s paddle board to fit under your machine might work.

I have another kind of cabinet and my machine was sitting low. I used 4 of the round bottoms on Aurifil threads under the 4 corners of my machine. This raised it to the right height needed. These are those round bottoms/stands on Aurifil thread that are removable.

Welcome to you from the mitten state. It looks like you have been given some good advise and options about adjusting you cabinet. Enjoy the your new sewing sewing experience and wander about the site just for the fun of it. Lots of good folks here overflowing with good ideas!
