A mounting means in a storage cabinet for a free arm sewing machine is shiftable between a storage position, a first working position with the arm of the machine positioned flush with the top of the cabinet for conventional flat bed operation and a second working position wherein the free arm is positioned above the top of the cabinet for access. The mounting includes a pair of hinged members one of which is mounted for pivotal movement within the cabinet. In a first working position the members, folded together, are disposed within the cabinet parallel and below the top of the cabinet. In a second or free arm position, one member is flush with the top of the cabinet while the other is angularly disposed with respect thereto.
