Worksurface
14" Rear Drop Leaf & Right-Side Swing-Up Platform
Designed to conquer massive fabric yardage and quilt backings, the 8280 integrates a 14" rear drop leaf and a right-side swing-up table extension. When fully deployed, the collaborative work deck spans 74-5/8" wide by 56" deep, keeping heavy fabrics level and preventing needle-pull drag.
Storage
Large Soft-Closing Drawer Extension
Equipped with a spacious left-of-needle soft-closing drawer extension (25-1/8" W x 16" D) that slides smoothly on heavy-duty rails. It provides convenient organization for rotary cutters, scissors, and project notions while keeping supplies within arm's reach.
Lift
Whisper Quiet Electric Lift
Built directly into every Model 8280, Horn's motorized lift mechanism provides effortless height control. Operated via intuitive push buttons, it smoothly raises and lowers your machine between free-arm, flatbed, and full storage positions with zero strain for units up to 80 lbs.
Finishes
White & Gray
Available in two melamine finishes — White and Gray — to match any studio decor.
Companion
Pairs with Horn Model 51 Super Quilter's Dream Caddie
Designed to slide seamlessly alongside the Horn of America Model 51 Super Quilter's Dream Caddie to create a modular, expansive studio layout complete with four deep storage drawers.
Inserts
Custom Acrylic Inserts
