My long arm machine was too big to get up the stairs, so it now resides in the room formerly known as our dining room. I love having it there, it is set up so I can look out the windows at my yard, and I'm close to the kitchen & family room where most of the action is. I hung up a peg board organizer for tools, and have two big thread holders for my favorite threads.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04284136308875776151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-72480431316363833482013-04-15T15:47:03.239-04:002013-04-15T15:47:03.239-04:00Your sewing room looks great, love the red.

But, my husband is renovating our downstairs, which will be a combination sewing room/ family room. I love being in the midst of things rather than off by myself. Plus, it will have a lot more light.

My stash is exceeding my space, do you think that could be the problem? lol! 2 suggestions from one long arm quilter to another: consider an adjustable height saddle stool for working on smaller spaces/one block at time from the front. Get the more expensive one, got mine through Amazon.com. Backless, armless, metal ring for a foot rest, height adjustment and seat tilt adjustment. Made such a difference for me in terms of fatigue and sore feet after standing for hours. Also padding for your floor where you'll be walking in front and back of the machine. I have carpet, carpet padding, and a heavy area rug. Maybe one of the gel kitchen runners for your wooden floors.

I live in a four bedroom house by myself and have a newly painted and updated bedroom just for my sewing supplies. I have metal shelving that I have bought new and some at yard sales to stack all my fabric and places for my quilting thread and other supplies. Bins are labeled with their contents and the closet has yardage hanging and shelves with finished quilts. This room is just a short walk from my sewing studio. I don't have any place in my studio for my fabrics and supplies.patty a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01861433552460661701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-49511056448158047012013-04-15T11:41:21.519-04:002013-04-15T11:41:21.519-04:00What fun you are going to have with your spiffed u...What fun you are going to have with your spiffed up studio AND longarm out by the beach!Mary on Lake Pulaskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16965950454417494966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-28361857113799352312013-04-15T11:24:20.928-04:002013-04-15T11:24:20.928-04:00Everything looks great, I really need to clean my ...Everything looks great, I really need to clean my room out. <br /><br />DebbieWoolenSailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621977477193550261noreply@blogger.com
