I have a PFAFF that my mother used for years. The PFAFF has a sewing foot that can be used to set the seam width. This is great for sewing the edge of the pleat.

I have an old computer desk the has a cut out for the key board. The cut out has a adjustment to change the height of the keyboard. At its lowest height the PFAFF sewing deck is the same height as the table top. This works very nicely. If I keep this up I may pickup a sheet of plywood, cut out a section on the far right, add a shelf and mount the sewing machine in the cut out.

I'd love to have a 7+ foot working surface on the left of my sewing machine.

If you can find a singer 15-91 you will be in heaven, its straight stitch only. Its the gear dive versin of the singer dressmaker. Mine is 30+ years old and works great. My other machines are to big for kilts and such. I do have some other machines of good quality i'd be willing to sell or trade for. shot me a PM. I do sew for a living so I tend to grab good machines when I find them, and wind up not using them.

I have similar machine. It's singer replica made in USSR in 1951. Only straight stitch and hand drive but nothing problem to sew 4 layers of heavy denim + velcro.
