Arrow 701 Bertha Sewing Cabinet for Sewing, Cutting, Quilting, Crafting, Portable with Wheels, Includes Airlift and Storage, White Finish
- Air Lift Mechanism: The Bertha has an easy to use airlift mechanism that raises and lowers your sewing machine with just a simple push. You can position the base of your machine flush with the table top in freearm position (useful for working on sleeves and cuffs) or you can push it down slightly into flatbed position so that that the sewing bed is flush with the surface. The airlift mechanism can fully adjust to any type of sewing machine base height so you can be sure your fabric will be perfectly level. With one push downwards you can store your sewing machine all the way out of sight.
- Large Machines: The Bertha is designed to hold the largest of machines and the airlift mechanism can handle a 60 pound machine. The opening will accommodate sewing machines up to 22 9/16 inches (wide) x 11 3/4 inches front to back (deep) x 14 1/2 inches (tall.) The Bertha will fit the new Bernina 830 Viking Sapphire and Babylock Ellisimo.
- Generous Surface Area: When the leaves are in the open position the table top features a vast expanse of surface area to either side of your chair. You sit comfortably in the center right in front of the needle. Meanwhile the leaves rest on sturdy supports so you do not need to fear that they will bow or crack the second you put anything heavier than a spool of thread on top.
- Quilt Leaf: Included with the Bertha is the space expanding quilt leaf. This will increase your surface area even more by adding a table top behind your machine. The leaf attaches to the back of the cabinet by sliding along a metal rod. The rod allows you to position the leaf exactly where your want it. (Generally a little to the left of your machine.) Once your leaf is attached fragile quilts and other materials won't fall to the floor as you sew.

Sewing Machine Table to Bench
Turn that old sewing machine cabinet into a cute bench.
Supplies:
Sewing machine cabinet
Screwdriver
Saw
Chalk
Tape measure
Cushions or pillows (optional)
Sometimes, I do a craft project, and then I become addicted to it. Like, I recently turned an old sewing machine cabinet into a laptop desk, and now I can't get enough of working with sewing machine cabinets. Luckily for me, just about everyone in my family has one, since many of us have sewn for years. Now, I can adopt sewing machine cabinets and turn around and give them as gifts (to the people that I adopted them from). You might not have ever made anything from a sewing machine cabinet, but if you have one in your basement or shed, drag it out. You'll be shocked at the beautiful piece of furniture that you can create!
A sewing machine cabinet that features a lift-up top can be easily turned into a little bench for a child's room. Even though the sewing machine is hidden inside the cabinet, it makes the table very heavy, so it's recommended that the machine be removed. It's not a difficult task to do, though. Lift the lid of the cabinet and open it all the way. Then, reach inside and get the machine, pull it up, and then lean it all the way back. Look underneath and you'll see a couple of screws where the machine meets the cabinet. Loosen those and you can lift the machine out.
The only thing that you really have to do to the cabinet to turn it into a bench is to shorten the legs. Turn the cabinet on its top and measure how much of the leg that you want to remove. Make a chalk mark around each leg so that you'll know where to cut it. Sometimes, the very bottoms of the legs can be worn on an old machine cabinet so measure from the bottom cabinet edge, down the leg, rather than from the tip of the leg, up. Saw the legs off and sand, if necessary.
Paint, decoupage, or otherwise decorate the cabinet (optional). It's also optional to put a seat cushion on it but it makes the bench softer. You can use throw pillows, a bed pillow, or even a cushion for an outdoor chair. Double-sided tape can help to hold the cushion(s) in place on the cabinet top.
Never even think about throwing a sewing machine cabinet away unless it's broken or ruined. Just quit thinking about it as a sewing machine cabinet and you'll quickly have a whole new piece of furniture for your home - a lovely, useful one, at that.
