My sewing machine table is at a right angle to the picture window wall, facing my design wall. Cutting table is three steps to the left, ironing table (big ironing padded board on top on a chest of drawers) a few steps to the right. Also have a wooden TV tray covered with batting and home dec. fabric that I can move around when I need it. If you don't have one of these I highly recommend them! I found four TV trays at a yard sale for $7 total and made some for my friends too.
