Horn of America Model 8280 — Quilter's Dream XL Sewing Cabinet

The Horn of America Model 8280 Quilter's Dream XL is the beloved cabinet that serious quilters have trusted for decades — now updated for today's larger quilting machines. With a spacious 31" × 15-1/2" machine opening, a massive 75" × 60" open work surface, a 14" drop leaf, large drawer extension, and right-side swing-up platform, the 8280 is purpose-built for ambitious quilting projects. If you work with large quilts, multiple machines, or need maximum left-of-needle space, this is your cabinet. Handcrafted in Sutton, West Virginia, USA.

Key Features

31" × 15-1/2" Machine Cut-Out
Fits today's largest quilting machines including the Baby Lock Solaris, Brother Luminaire, BERNINA 880, Janome M17, and Juki DX4000. Updated from earlier Quilter's Dream models for modern machine compatibility.

Whisper-Quiet Electric Lift
Positions your machine at flatbed, free-arm, or storage at the press of a button. Holds machines up to 80 lbs.

Massive 75" × 60" Open Work Surface
One of the largest quilting work surfaces available in any cabinet — easily handles full-size quilt tops without fabric falling to the floor.

Large Drawer Extension (25-1/8" W × 16" D)
Generous left-of-needle space — move your project freely away from the needle while you sew without fighting the cabinet edge.

14" Drop Leaf
Expands workspace for rolling and maneuvering large quilting projects. Folds away when not in use.

Right-Side Swing-Up Extension
Dedicated space for notions, tools, and accessories — keeps your main work surface clear.

27" Cabinet Depth
Updated geometry adds more knee room and easier fit for larger embroidery machines.

Pairs with Horn Model 51 Caddie
Add the Model 51 Caddie alongside the 8280 for extra drawers, thread storage, and additional work surface.
