Horn Model 9479 Tall Sewing Cabinet

Upgrade your sewing room with the Horn Model 9479 Tall Sewing Cabinet. Engineered specifically for taller makers or anyone who prefers working at a standing or counter-height level, this premium Horn of America workstation stands at an ergonomic 36-1/2" high. Combining a massive 34" × 15-1/2" machine opening, an 80-lb heavy-duty electric lift, four soft-close drawers, a swing-up side platform, and dedicated embroidery storage, the Model 9479 provides an expansive, comfortable creative space designed to eliminate back and neck strain.

Ergonomic 36-1/2" Height for Superior Comfort

Standard 29-3/4" sewing cabinets can cause taller sewists to hunch over their work, leading to shoulder, neck, and lower-back fatigue. The Model 9479 solves this problem by raising the entire sewing bed to a comfortable 36-1/2" counter height. Paired with a drafting chair or counter-height stool, it allows you to sit with optimal spinal alignment or stand comfortably while piecing, pressing, and trimming.

Expansive Workspace for Massive Projects

When closed, the cabinet measures 64" W × 27" D, offering a polished, self-contained furniture look. When fully opened for large-scale quilting, garment construction, and embroidery layout, the workstation expands to a massive 78-3/4" W × 69-5/8" D.

The rear drop leaves and the 18-3/8" × 17" drawer extension provide extensive support around and behind the needle, keeping heavy king-size quilts and dense drapery fabric from dragging to the floor.

Built for Large-Format Sewing & Embroidery Machines

The Model 9479 features an oversized 34" W × 15-1/2" D machine cutout paired with a Whisper-Quiet electric lift rated for up to 80 lbs. This setup effortlessly supports today's largest, heaviest sewing and embroidery machines, allowing smooth push-button transitions between freearm, flatbed, and storage positions.

Note: A properly fitted custom acrylic machine insert can provide a seamless, flush sewing surface around your machine's free-arm. Always verify your machine's dimensions before ordering, as inserts are custom-selected for your specific machine model.

Frequently Asked Questions

What chair should I use with a 36-1/2" high cabinet?

Because the Model 9479 is built at a 36-1/2" counter height, standard 18"–20" office chairs will be too low. It is designed to be paired with a counter-height stool or an adjustable drafting chair with a foot ring.

Which machines fit inside the Model 9479 cutout?

The Model 9479 features an extra-wide 34" × 15-1/2" machine cutout designed for large modern machines, including the Baby Lock Radiance, Brother Aveneer EV1, BERNINA 990, Janome Continental M17, Pfaff creative icon 2, and Husqvarna Viking Designer Epic series.

Do I need a custom insert for my machine?

Yes. While the electric lift positions your machine at the exact flatbed height, a custom acrylic insert fills the space between the machine free-arm and the cabinet opening, creating a continuous, level sewing bed.

Does the Horn Model 9479 require assembly?

No. The Model 9479 is crafted in the USA and arrives completely assembled directly from the factory. You only need to roll the cabinet into position, lock the commercial casters, and plug in the power cord.
