The Arrow Christa Sewing Cabinet was designed in collaboration with award-winning quilter Christa Watson to give quilters and sewists a spacious, organized workstation without sacrificing a home-friendly footprint. Its expandable rear quilt leaf and right-side leaf create a large work area for managing quilts, fabric, and other sewing projects.
The 2-position manual sewing lift provides free-arm and flat-bed sewing positions, while the A7 lift opening measures 23-3/4" W × 12-1/2" D. The cabinet also includes a large storage drawer with a removable cover, a wood panel for covering the sewing well when the machine is stored, and heavy-duty locking casters for mobility and stability.

Why Customers Love This Sewing Cabinet
Christa was designed around the needs of quilters who need substantial workspace without permanently dedicating an entire room to a large cutting table. When the leaves are extended, the cabinet provides a generous surface for supporting larger quilts and fabric projects. When the leaves are folded, the cabinet takes up considerably less space.
The manual lift gives you two useful sewing positions. Use the upper position for free-arm sewing and the lower position for a flat-bed setup. With an optional custom acrylic insert, the machine can transition more smoothly into the surrounding cabinet surface.
The large drawer keeps frequently used notions and accessories within reach, while its removable cover can be used as additional workspace. The included wood panel also lets you cover the sewing well when the machine is lowered for storage.
