Running A Fan At Your Sewing Table
#1
I know that not everyone uses a fan to help cool themselves while sewing, but my wife and I don’t run the AC down very low, and use free-standing fans to circulate the air instead. This Spring has been extremely hot here and we've used the fans quite a bit. Every once in a while, I find myself “fighting the wind” when handling my thread or fabric at my needle. Not to mention all of the thread trimmings that get blown across the top of the trash can onto the floor.
If you use a fan, is it a ceiling fan or a free-standing fan, and have you came up with any secrets to avoid turbulence at the needle but still get good air movement toward yourself?

I have ceiling fans in every room and if they are on a slow speed, they move the air nicely without blowing everything away. When we lived in the midwest and had AC I would place a small fan in front of the duct in the floor aimed at the wall and the cool air would bounce off the wall and spred evenly thru the room.

I have fans running all of the time, due to summer and powers surges LOL
I do have my sewing machine area partially blocked so the breeze coming that way is somewhat off of my machine area :D:D:D
