Are Kenmore sewing machines easy to remove from the sewing desk it comes with? I want to purchase a used sewing table/cabinet that has a Kenmore machine in it, but I have my own, well working Kenmore machine I want to use with the used table. I haven't purchased the table yet.
I have a singer, but they should all be similar. There are screws on tbe bottom that let you remove the machine head from the table.

I was given an older treadle machine, and I want to know how to take the machine out of the cabinet so I can move it to my home. It is very heavy, so if I separate the two parts I can put it in my SUV. Thanks.

It should un-screw from the bottom.
Where of the bottom? It is the type that you lift up the cover and the machine lifts up, and the top becomes a sewing surface. Do you unscrew it at the hinge? Thanks
Loosen the set screws, do not remove all the way, they can be a challenge to reinstall, you just need them to release the machine. Do not remove hinges, unless you like having to replace srews.
I have an older Singer sewing machine. I wish to take the machine out of the cabinet, but do not know how to get wire out of hole on the side. It has a box inside for knee use instead of on floor. Any ideas?
??? Why would you want to take it apart ???
Like the old saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it"
I am assuming it's a Singer 15-91 or similar. When the knee pedal was added (I love them! Far better than chasing a foot pedal all over the floor while I'm trying to sew!) the machine was wired into the cabinet. If you really must take it out, you will have to undo some wiring. If you are planning to replace the machine with a more modern machine, please be aware that only certain Singers will fit in the hole that will be left. Most of the older full-sized Singers will. But two things have to fit: the overall footprint of the machine and the diameter and spacing of the hinge-pins behind the machine.
How do I remove my bottom cabinet bracket from my sewing machine? It's a Singer 9420 and the bracket is a Singer 969074.
Your Singer is a 'free-arm' machine so I'm assuming it's been fitted into a specialty cabinet for free-arm machines - not something I have any experience with as here in Scotland most Singer free-arms are used as portables on a table top.
