The Koloa cabinet was delivered today and I got the Lyric set up and took it for a spin … since this is my binding machine … I trimmed one of the waiting quilts and machine stitched a binding on and now it’s ready for hand stitching. (I hand stitch all my bindings down). I think this setup is going to work out just fine. I haven’t had drawers on any of my previous cabinets so they’re a definite bonus.
Next time Chris visits, I’ll have him help Keith put the castors on the bottom but for now it’s good to go! I had some extra room on the side so I set up my spare ironing board as a work surface … I’ve been using it by the machine for a while now and I was happy that there was enough room for it.
When Keith and the dogs go to bed tonight, I’ll hand stitch another binding. Tomorrow I need to get a top loaded and quilted.
Great set up. Thanks for sharing. Happy and safe 4th to you and your family.
Beautiful cabinet and setup.
It looks great. Such a great setup
A good looking cabinet. I like the drawers too.
Great cabinet! I have three small drawers on my cabinet, and they are basically filled with junk. Sigh!
So you can get a whole binding hand stitched in an evening? Very impressive! Do. you have a secret approach or just focus and diligence?
I don’t like my machine stitched bindings but am so slow on the hand stitching, its agony. For small quilts (dolls, newborns) I am experimenting with a pillow case approach where there is no binding at all, just a seam around 3 sides of an inside out layer of batting, front and back, and one side sewn down by hand.

Happy that it fits! Looks like it will be a great contribution to your binding endeavors.
That is a good looking cabinet. I have a big old wooden desk for my sewing station, and I really love having the drawers. You’ll enjoy your rearranged space and new cabinet.
That’s a nice cabinet and, now that it’s in place, you can mess up the sewing room again! 😀
What a nice, efficient set up you have!t
very nice.
