The Horn Gemini XL is one of Horn’s most compact yet highly capable sewing cabinets - designed for sewists who want a space‑saving workstation without compromising on machine size, stability or functionality. Despite its small footprint, the Gemini XL features the Maxi‑lifter opening (Type 1942), allowing it to accommodate virtually all domestic sewing machines, including many of today’s larger models . Built with quilters and patchworkers in mind, the Gemini XL offers a smooth 3‑step air‑lift mechanism, a rear extension to prevent needle drag, and a unique slide‑out storage system that maximises organisation while keeping your sewing area tidy. Fitted with the Maxi-lifter opening (type 1942) which is capable of taking virtually all domestic sewing machines on the market old or new! This model arrives fitted with a 3 step push down release air-lift mechanism which means a quick push down moves your machine from storage to flatbed to free-arm. A work area at the back of the machine which prevents the needle drag that can happen with large projects. Lifts up easily when needed and down when not (so it doesn’t have to be open all the time). It has a very sturdy gate leg design with Quilters/ Patchworkers in mind but is ideal for all sewing projects. Unique slide-out extra storage idea. Shut the doors and it hides your machine away in a beautiful cabinet. No one would ever know. One acrylic flatbed inset plate cut to fit your sewing machine is included with this model. Arrives fully assembled.
