    Looks great to me. I am space challenged in this house. You have a custom chair cover and a lovely furry assistant. Who could ask for anything more?

    My sewing machine was on an old farm table, but it was always cluttered with my tools and projects, so I found one of those old oak desks that teachers used when I was a kid, and now the clutter has real drawers to live in. I especially love the two slide outs that are either side of me when I sew ( like a breadboard in a kitchen), now I just need to make a small ironing pad to use on one of them. Best $35 I ever spent at Goodwill.

    It doesn't matter what you use, if it works for you. Some can afford nice cabinets and tables, some can't.

    I like your setup. It is very similar to what I have. It makes quilting so easy. I adore your assistant. Wish I had one but the apartment management would be very unhappy.

    That is one of those thread holders. It has a metal base. I use cones and the thread from CT. Also seems to make the tension feed better, at least to me, from the spool to the machine.

    very similar to what I do. My ironing board is always up and ready to go. Helps when that extra support is needed!
