Abstract
A cabinet and work table for a sewing machine having a convertible work supporting bed capable of conversion from a flat work supporting bed to a free-arm bed. The cabinet work supporting surface is divided into two parts, a fixed rear work supporting surface and a laterally/vertically shiftable front work supporting surface. The sewing machine is supported in the cabinet with the work supporting bed forwardly of, contiguous with and spaced above the rear work supporting surface. The shiftable front work supporting surface may be shifted from a first position co-planar with the rear work supporting surface, wherein the sewing machine may be used in a free-arm mode, to a second position co-planar and contiguous to the work supporting bed of the sewing machine for the flat bed sewing mode, wherein the front work supporting surface augments the flat work supporting bed of the sewing machine.
