Koala News double lift sewing cabinet, DualMate Plus IV, Koala sewing cabinets 1 Comment
For anyone that has or will have more than one sewing machine, it is! It has two lifts for double the working options. You can have your embroidery machine on one, sewing machine on the other and with the optional storage and shelving unit you can house your serger there too! You better get a comfy chair because with the DualMate Plus IV, all you’ll have to do is swivel from one machine to another without having to stand and walk around!
