Horn of America Model 8280 Quilter's Dream XL Sewing Cabinet Details
The Horn of America Model 8280 Quilter’s Dream XL is built for sewists and quilters who need maximum space, smart storage, and a sturdy design to keep up with today’s largest machines. Featuring a 31" x 15-1/2" cut-out, it easily accommodates oversized quilting and embroidery models, giving you the room you need to take on ambitious projects with confidence. Whether you’re piecing a quilt, free-motion quilting, or tackling home décor, the 8280 provides a stable, comfortable, and efficient setup designed to make every stitch easier. Style meets functionality with two sleek finish options. Choose White for a crisp, bright look that makes your sewing room feel more open, or select Gray for a modern, contemporary style that blends effortlessly with any décor. Both finishes are durable and timeless, ensuring your cabinet looks as good as it performs for years to come.
Workspace flexibility is where the 8280 truly shines. A large drawer extension offers additional storage and cutting space, while a 14" drop leaf and right-side swing-up extension expand your surface area for managing quilts and bulky fabrics with ease. When fully open, the cabinet boasts an impressive 74-3/8" wide by 56" deep workspace, yet when closed, it compacts neatly to 60" wide by 27" deep, making it a practical solution for both spacious and smaller sewing rooms. For even greater efficiency, the Horn of America Model 51 Quilter's Dream Caddie is the perfect companion—adding four deep drawers of storage and creating a modular system that keeps all your essentials close at hand. Proudly made in the USA with Horn’s trusted craftsmanship, the 8280 is designed for durability, efficiency, and years of creative use. Pair it with the Horn of America Deluxe Adjustable Sewing Chair for the ultimate ergonomic setup, and enjoy hours of comfortable, productive sewing.
Dream Companion
Pairing the Horn of America Model 51 Quilter's Dream Caddie with the Model 8280 Quilter’s Dream XL Sewing Cabinet creates a modular setup that blends maximum storage with expansive workspace. Sliding neatly alongside the cabinet, the caddie adds four spacious drawers to organize thread, fabric, and notions, ensuring your essentials are always within reach. Add the optional Horn of America Thread Tray to the Model 51 for even greater efficiency—providing organized spool storage that keeps colors visible and tangle-free. Together, the 8280 and Model 51 form a workstation designed for serious sewists and quilters—combining the XL cabinet’s drop leaf and swing-up extensions with the caddie’s smart storage capacity. This pairing keeps bulky projects supported while giving you a dedicated space for every tool, accessory, and hoop. The Model 51 elevates the Quilter’s Dream XL into a truly all-in-one creative hub. With this setup, you’ll enjoy a sewing space that is efficient, organized, and built to grow with your quilting journey.
2 Color Options
The Horn of America Model 8280 Quilter’s Dream XL is available in two versatile finishes designed to complement any sewing or quilting space. White offers a crisp, bright look that makes your workspace feel open and inviting—perfect for creating a fresh, airy environment. If you prefer a more modern and contemporary aesthetic, Gray delivers a sleek, stylish finish that pairs beautifully with both bold and neutral décor. Both finishes are built for durability, ensuring your cabinet looks as good as it performs for years to come.
Perfect Height
The Horn of America Model 8280 stands at a comfortable 29-3/4" height, making it an excellent choice for long sewing or quilting sessions. This ideal height keeps your machine at the perfect level for smoother fabric handling, while also helping reduce strain on your shoulders, neck, and back. It pairs beautifully with a Horn of America Deluxe Adjustable Sewing Chair for an ergonomic setup that keeps you comfortable and supported. Whether you’re piecing quilt blocks, managing large yardage, or doing detailed embroidery work, the 8280’s height ensures both ease and efficiency every time you sit down to sew.
Versatile Use
Expansive versatility makes the Horn of America Model 8280 Quilter’s Dream XL a favorite among quilters and sewists. An oversized drawer extension delivers generous left-of-needle space, giving you plenty of room for piecing, trimming, or keeping tools within easy reach. Add in the 14" drop-leaf, and you’ll have the extra depth needed to roll and maneuver large quilts without hassle. On the right side, the swing-up extension doubles as a handy spot for organizing notions and tools or setting up a small workspace, ensuring everything stays close at hand. With its smart design and multiple work areas, the 8280 adapts seamlessly to projects of any size.
31" Machine Cut-Out
Big machines are no challenge thanks to the generous 31" wide by 15-1/2" deep cut-out, built to fit today’s largest and most advanced models like the Baby Lock Radiance, Brother Aveneer EV1, Bernina 990, and Janome M17. This oversized opening keeps your machine secure and flush with the cabinet surface, ensuring smoother fabric flow and better stability for high-speed stitching.
For the ultimate upgrade, add the optional custom insert, precision-cut to your machine and finished with flame-polished edges for a seamless, professional workspace that makes handling quilts, garments, and home décor projects easier and more efficient.
⚠️ Important Care Note: Flame-polished edges should never be exposed to alcohol or hand sanitizer, as these can cause a crackle reaction with plexiglass.
Open/Close Dimensions
When space matters, the Horn of America cabinet delivers flexibility with its thoughtful open and closed dimensions. Fully open, it expands to an impressive 64-1/4" wide by 40" deep, giving you plenty of room to spread out quilts, garments, or embroidery projects. Once your sewing session is finished, the rear drop leaf and swing-up extensions fold neatly away, and the bifold door tucks your machine out of sight. Closed, the cabinet measures a compact 53" wide by 27" deep, making it easy to fit into smaller sewing rooms, multi-purpose spaces, or even a cozy corner. This balance of a spacious work area and compact storage ensures you get the best of both worlds—room to create and the ability to keep your space neat when not in use.
