How would you reach the foot pedal?

To reach the foot pedal, we could build a shelf or box to set it on inside the cabinet that would bring it up to the proper height. Or, DH just offered, "make it a knee pedal" attached to the side of the cab.

i like the knee pedal idea. i have ms and that would be so great.

Knee pedals are great, lizzie2. We had one in an old singer cabinet from DH's grandma that DH brought into our marriage. We got rid of it when I got tired of fighting with the aging machine. The pedal part was nice, though.

I have a friend whose granddaughter has spina bifida. She found an old knee pedal cabinet and the local sewing machine repairman retrofitted a machine into it for her. This lets her g-daughter sew!

I don't see why a foot pedal couldn't be attached to a table leg or board to let you sew more easily. HTH. : )

I did my daughters nursery at a counter height dining table. I had no problem reaching the foot pedal, although I would advise putting a no-slip or the foam shelf stuff to keep it where you want it. That was the only problem! It was so much nicer to cut on the island and table!
I wish I had one just for that! I have always found that type of chair/stool more comfortable, (disc problem) and it really helps to get closer to the machine!

What was your outcome? I’m wanting to do same. Do you have pictures?
