If no one else knows, let me know and I will contact my stitch guy and find out for sure. A guy could cut out a section of the bottom stand and lower it that way, but then it would probably be sitting to close to the floor. Mine is a perfect height for a small window...........but too high for the big window I'm sure.
I appreciate the input, something to think about. I am sure I read someplace on the board where someone did this........just can't find the post.
