Without the optional side extension shelves in place, you have plenty of leg room to use one or both side extensions as a work platform for a companion machine, like your serger. * Here’s a great set-up as an embroidery studio with room for your main embroidery machine and your laptop. Your regular machine is ready to sew, plus plenty of storage for a serger below. * Whatever you’re doing, you always need space for cutting and pressing; now you have room to spare. * It’s the perfect quilting set-up: set up one extension as a permanent pressing station, then just roll your chair between your two machines and the pressing mat. * [+] Roll-over thumb-nails for larger view * Shown with optional Storage & Shelving Kit in place.
