Abstract
Mounting means for a sewing machine, or a similar machine for joining together pieces of fabric, having a horizontal work surface by which the machine is supported with capacity for rotation about a vertical axis. The machine is mounted within an aperture formed in the horizontal surface, and supported by bearings. A vertical shaft, located below the work surface, is connected to the machine and provided with a disc, whereby the machine is rotatable from beneath the work surface. Shelves and compartments are located beneath the work surface for storage of materials and for housing the control circuitry for the machine. The invention eliminates the customary stand on which such machines are mounted, and the many disadvantages attendant thereto.
