Gee David, We have a girl that works for us who is about 5 feet tall. And she can't reach the top thread spools on the thread palette to change them out. How much higher are you talking about? Remember that the machine is definitely top heavy. Ed Ed & Maralien Orantes E.M.

My Amayas currently are sitting on their Amaya carts in my home. When doing things like threading needles, changing/cleaning bobbins, etc. it is more convenient to sit in a desk chair. I think that as I am putting cabinets in the store, it would probably be easier to work at the machine if it was a little higher. Hooping and loading are done standing and I would rather not trip over the chair. Does anyone have any thoughts on height of the equipment? David Sklar Ballyhoo! Arlington VA
