    I love that the new machine is on top of the old one. It’s like how we used to do with our TVs.

      It’s not… there’s only one sewing machine there.

      Edit: okay, okay. It is likely that the original sewing machine has been removed from the table.

        The table underneath the sewing machine is an older sewing machine flipped under. You flip the sewing machine into the top and it becomes a table. The new machine is on top of the older machine.

        Here is a picture of the same type with the older machine still out of it’s nook:

          I’m familiar with that type, but I think the old machine was removed. It would be visible under the table. Hard to tell for sure with the poor lighting though.

            You can’t really see the machine when it’s tucked in. Here is an example:

            Edit: This normally would have an extra bit in front of the sewing machine to cover that part up (see above for an example). This was just to show that the sewing machine is under the table but still not very visible.

            It wouldn’t. I still have one here at home from my great grandmother. The machine disappears completely inside the table top with no parts visible. Like in this pic. Pretty sure it’s the same model as I have here.

          Not necessarily. My mom has a similar setup, just installed the new sewing machine on the table from her grandmas old treadle-driven machine.

          Looks nice even if the treadle is useless. Electric pedal can be put out of the way when not in use.

    Ok though. I came from a woman’s house who had one of those brother luminaiere embroidery machines.

    You talk about elderly autism. All that was missing was the lights. Every thread color, work stations, etc.

    Woman has over 100k files spread out over 25+ USBs of all her designs. Can be sent an image file and have it embroidered in less than an hour.

    She did need some RGB tho. Bitch had a quilted gingerbread house cover for her mixer. I like elderly taste more to be honest lol
