Horn of America sewing machine cabinets use three standardized machine opening (cutout) sizes across their entire product line to accommodate different generations and sizes of sewing, quilting, and embroidery machines. [1, 2, 3]
The exact opening size for your specific Horn cabinet will depend on which category your model falls into:
1. Standard / Mid-Size Machine Opening: 25" × 13"
This opening is designed for standard, small, and mid-sized sewing machines.
2. Large / Extra-Large Machine Opening: 31" × 15.5"
3. Ultimate "Super-Size" Machine Opening: 34" × 15.5"

| Standard | 25" × 13" | Small to mid-size sewing machines |

| Super-Size | 34" × 15.5" | Next-generation ultra-large sewing/embroidery units |
Important Acrylic Insert Reminder
Because these three opening sizes are rectangular, you will need a custom-cut acrylic insert (Plexiglass plate) to fill the remaining gap around your specific sewing machine. When purchasing an insert, you must match the template to the exact model number of your Horn cabinet and the brand/model of your sewing machine
