Kangaroo - Emu Cabinet

Photographs are a useful guide in purchasing your fabric.  All of our photographs are as provided by the manufacturer.  The Quilters Studio will not be held responsible for any issue in your selection based on the photograph provided.

We tear our fabric, thereby ensuring that you receive a selvedge to selvedge cut of what you ordered.  If you would prefer to have us cut your selections, you will need to direct us to do so.  We do recommend that you launder your fabric before cutting it for your project.  Laundering your fabric is more to eliminate the chemicals and inert dyes that are inherent to any fabric manufactured, thereby easing your use of the product.

Our Emu sewing cabinet is a perfect center island in your craft room.  The Emu stands 36” tall and offers a spacious 24” wide x 12-3/4” deep opening with a three position airlift mechanism that moves your sewing machine or serger up and down into position with a push down.

The airlift will support a 55# sewing machine.  The sewing machine platform is height adjustable allowing you to adjust the height based on your sewing machine’s measurements.

Place the wood cover (included) on top of the sewing machine well and use the top surface with a rotary mat as a cutting surface.  The two side leaves provide ample space allowing you to spread out your project.

Rotate the cabinet 180-degrees and the Emu features 5 drawers and 4 shelves offering plenty of storage for all your sewing notions.  When your projects are complete, close the doors, drop the leaves and place the cover over the sewing well and your cabinet will hide and tuck away your projects neatly and securely.

The sewing machine platform is height adjustable allowing you to adjust the height based on your sewing machine’s measurements.

The Emu rests on casters allowing you to move it from the center of your room to any wall.  Once in place the casters lock down in place.

Sewing Machines that are too large and do not fit this cabinet:

Baby Lock

  • Destiny

Brother

  • Dream V8500D.

 Sewing Machines that will fit, but have special requirements:

Janome 15,000 and Elna 920 eXpressive

  • These machines will fit the platform of the cabinet in flatbed position (a custom insert is available) but you will have to move the sewing machine from right to left to lower into the storage position because of the extension of the front support leg of the machine.
  • Also the knee lifter lever cannot be used with a sewing cabinet due to the length of the lever and how machine sits on the platform in flatbed position.

These machines are ones that have known fit issues. Please be advised that this list will change as new models are introduced. It is extremely important to measure your machine prior to ordering to make sure it will fit.
