Height Tips

HAKA really has your needs in mind with "custom-sizable" Sewing Cabinet and Cutting Table heights
Drawing on over 20 years experience designing customer-inspired sewing furniture, HAKA offers "custom-sizeable" height choices so you can enjoy the correct, comfortable height. HAKA Sewing Furniture fits!

Individual ergonomic needs differ
Just as a sewing pattern doesn't fit every body without personalizing alterations, one standard sewing furniture height doesn't take into account the physical differences between individual sewers, such as actual height, waist length, crotch depth, seated knee/thigh height, etc. You are all unique!

Why sewing and cutting sometimes hurt

Pain when sewing
: Do you get a pain in your neck and shoulders when you sew? Does sewing give you a headache? Do you quickly become fatigued when you sew?
Diagnosis: Your machine is not sitting at the right height for you.

Pain when cutting: Does your back ache when you cut on your dining room table (or on your bed, or on the floor)?
Diagnosis: Your cutting surface is not the right height for you.

HAKA's solution : Choose the height you prefer for your sewing and cutting furniture.

SEWING CABINET HEIGHT CHOICE
The height of your Sewing Cabinet plays a major role in your sewing comfort. Many sewers complain that they develop a pain in their neck and shoulders when working at their sewing machines for any length of time. The reason for their discomfort is that their sewing machines are sitting too high and they are forced to continuously hold their arms up while they sew. This puts a constant strain on their neck and shoulder muscles, resulting in pain and fatigue.
How do you determine what sewing cabinet height is right for you?

TIP: When sitting on a standard height chair (approx. 17" high - 43.18cm) with your hands resting on the front edge of the table top in front of you, your elbows should form a right angle
.
Note: Remember, with HAKA's 3-position Tip-Matik sewing machine air lift, your machine can be recessed down into your sewing furniture to bring the needle plate down, level with your table top. To see the Tip-Matik lift and learn how it works, click here: Sewing Machine Lift.

"Custom-size" your HAKA Sewing Cabinet height...at no extra cost! - 28", 29" or 30" (71.12cm, 73.66cm or 76.2cm)

CUSTOM SEWING CABINET HEIGHT: HAKA can further customize the height of your Sewing Cabinet. A customizing fee may apply.

CUTTING TABLE HEIGHT CHOICE
If you have been cutting on a low surface like your dining room table, you have no doubt experienced back and shoulder pain. No wonder... your back is supporting the weight of your upper body as you lean over to cut! You can eliminate this pain with a HAKA Folding Cutting Table that is the correct height for you!

TIP: When deciding what cutting height is best for you, keep in mind that when rotary cutting, the main cutting force should come from your shoulder - if your table is too high, this force will be diminished. Also, when standing at the side of your cutting table, you should be able to lean over to the middle of the table without disturbing the fabric.

"Custom-size"
your HAKA Cutting Table height...at no extra cost! - 34", 35" or 36"
(86.36cm 88.9cm or 91.44cm)


CUSTOM CUTTING TABLE HEIGHT: HAKA can further customize the height of your Cutting Table. A customizing fee may apply.

CONCLUSION
When you have the right equipment for the task (which, most importantly, "fits" you), you will work more easily and consequently better. Your finished projects are sure to look more professional!

Sewing furniture tip
Sewing and serging machines vibrate when in use... avoid sewing furniture with flimsy moving parts that can become unstable.
