Thank you, Tartan. It sounds like basically the same procedure. My photos show up small in the reply box before I hit submit, but then they're huge in the thread, and all post twice.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Thank you, Tartan. It sounds like basically the same procedure. My photos show up small in the reply box before I hit submit, but then they're huge in the thread, and all post twice.
I've got a unit with casters and I push/pull it forming a L shape to iron while piecing. Very handy!!!
My sewing table is 4 ft. by 8 ft.. My sewing machine is set in a well so its flush with the table top. On one end I have a large cutting mat, and there is a double tier of shelves underneath.
My design wall is on my right between two bookcases of books and quilting supplies. My cutting table is behind me and I set up my ironing board nearby. Works for me. (And thanks Tartan for the instructions...I finally know how to post a pic.)

I have an L but the L is backwards for helping with sewing. I do really like my configuration but plan on making it a "U" shape when I move into my daughter's room after she is out of college.
Mine is U shaped and I can walk around my cutting/ironing table.

I use quite a high cutting bench for my machine to sit on. I found that on a normal height table I would bend my neck towards the machine and end up with neck pain. Now I use a high bar stool on wheels and am almost in a standing position. Works for me!
I like a high work surface too, Fiona, even though I'm only 5'3". I can sew all day and all night with no back or neck pain at all.Originally Posted by QuiltingByFiona
My cutting area and sewing area are combined on a hollow core door. I can cut from the left end of the door if I need more than the 30" width of it. The studio is set up in a galley arrangement with a floor frame, ironing board and storage running parallel to the sewing/cutting area.
The Earth without art is just "Eh".
When we were working on this room we drew it on graph paper, trying to squeeze in all I needed. The only thing that moves is the ironing board, it swivels side to side, but is usually farthest from my sewing machine. It sort of forces me to get up to use it.
I guess it's sort of a mangled U
You know that feeling when you've finished all your quilting projects and your studio is perfectly clean???? Me neither.
It's not how fast you sew, it's how well you sew fast! Wait, I think that's supposed to be MOW!
No picture but yes mine is L shaped. Long sewing table my husband made and ironing station on the left side. The other L, the living room, yes to that to.
