I removed carpet and put laminate flooring in. It is so easy to get clean up and find pins. Not pins sticking in carpet. Love it!

If I could have my way, there would be NO carpet anywhere in my house. For starters pins can hide in carpet. Bits of thread hang to carpet fibers.

If you want cushy for your feet, buy a throw rug or carpet remenant for your work area.

I once had carpet under my sewing corner, but now have laminate. I am a messy sewer and the pins would get buried in the carpet and it isn't good to find one when you have bare feet! Also, it is easier for me to use a broom than to maneuver the vacuum around the equipment.

I have wood floor and love it. Small carpet under my sewing table for noise as my sewing room is upstairs.

I had carpet in previous room, it is warm, but messy. I now have stained sanded cement (see photo) and LOVE it. It is easy to move on (using rolling chair between machine and cutting table) and easy to clean. I found with the carpet there were always pieces of thread laying around no matter how meticulous I was about being neat.

I have wood now, LOVE it! I've had carpet in other houses, pain to keep vac'd, pins stick in the feet. I would choose any hard surface over carpet for a sewing room.

If you plan on getting a longarm,you will need at least a section of hard floor or your machine will vibrate.

Having experienced both carpet and wood, I prefer the wood.

I have had both, the carpet tends to hide the pins dropped and end up stepping on them.

My current sewing room is stained concrete with rubber mats at the cutting table for me to stand on.

I much prefer the concrete floors or wood floors, will never again have a sewing room with carpet.

Have a blessed day
