Description
The “Transformer” of all Sylvia sewing machine cabinets. As one of our most popular models, the 1520 features over 16 square feet of surface area.
This is perfect to quilt large quilts, sewing drapes, home décor, and other projects whether they are large or small. This sewing table is adjustable by folding down the back or side extensions.
The Quilters Dream gives every quilter and sewer the options of additional space when it is needed. And it is strong and sew sturdy!
Four steel drawers that open and close sew easy and are perfect for organizing your favorite accessories and threads. Also included are commercial grade locking casters which makes it easy to move your cabinet around your sewing or quilting studio. All hinges are flush mounted so they will not snag and interfere with your quilting or sewing.
You are Responsible to check the Sewing Machine Hole Size
Be sure to measure your sewing machine with all attachments removed. For the best fit, allow 2 extra inches around your machine for the insert to fit well. The extra 2" also allows room for your machine to raise and lower freely with the lift and the sewing machine cords.
The standard sewing machine opening size can be found in the specifications.
Acrylic Insert
Cabinet Inserts are designed to fit your specific make and model of sewing machine and cabinet and fill gaps around your sewing area*, allowing you to work more efficiently and comfortably. They are made with one of the highest grades of acrylic.
All the inserts are designed based on having the accessory tray removed from the machine. The insert is designed to be perfectly level with the free arm of the machine. If you have a top-loading bobbin this may affect your use.
Occasionally those that are custom cutting the insert will have additional questions about your sewing machine, or the hole that they are fitting, and you will be asked more questions.
Lift
The Merz heavy-duty lift is made in Germany and has three positions for your sewing machine, holding up to 60 pounds.
- Positioned all the way down, you can close up the sewing machine cabinet completely.
- In the middle position, the arm of your sewing machine is flush with the top of your cabinet for sewing and quilting. This position is meant to be used with an optional sewing machine insert that fits around the arm of your machine.
- All the way up, the third position allows you to take advantage of your sewing machine free arm and use your embroidery unit.
With three positions you can sew ergonomically and be comfortable as you sew.
The lift allows 21.65" of height for your sewing machine and holds up to 60 pounds.
