Know before you buy
The lift opening measures 23 3/4" W x 12 1/2" D. As long as your machine's base dimensions are smaller than this, it will fit comfortably on the platform.
The hydraulic lift is rated for machines weighing up to 45 pounds. This accommodates most heavy-duty sewing and quilting machines on the market.
Yes, a custom insert is required to bridge the gap between your specific machine and the cabinet opening. This creates a perfectly flush surface, which is essential for smooth fabric movement during quilting.
The back quilt leaf extension provides extra surface area behind the machine. This prevents heavy fabric from dragging off the back of the table, which helps maintain consistent tension and stitch quality.
Yes, the cabinet features a removable front panel specifically designed to accommodate a knee lifter. This allows you to maintain ergonomic control without the cabinet frame getting in your way.
The Joey XL is a separate unit equipped with locking casters. This allows you to roll it out for easy access to your supplies or tuck it away under the cabinet when not in use.
