I found a free vintage elna supermatic online but it comes with a sewing cabinet. The machine and cabinet separate. I only have space for a sewing machine. No room for a cabinet.

It's in Long Beach. I'm in Costa Mesa. I have to take the cabinet to get the sewing machine and only have a little 4 door car.

Is there anyone in the Long Beach area who could help me? I'd give you the cabinet if you wanted it. Um, I want the sewing machine! My other plan is to drop the cabinet off at Goodwill.

Any suggestions? I have pictures I can email. Having trouble getting them uploaded. GR!

Hi Cat,

I cannot help you with moving the machine, but have seen sewing machine cabinets with their legs cut down to make a side or coffee table.

Keep in mind that generally the legs are designed to be removable from the top of the cabinet, so it may fit in your car after all.

Hi Cat, how funny that I came across this. I had responded to the same craigslist posting. Nancy (the lady who posted the ad) said she had someone coming tomorrow but I was next if it fell through. I'm glad that a PR member is getting the machine. Please let me know how she looks and sews. Congrats :))

Well it (the cabinet) did not fit in the car. But the sewing machine did!!

I so totally don't have it sitting in the corner here at work.
