Believe this or not, ours is in the living room. We never use that room and we don't have company. (Formal) What's so funny is when our kids come over or any of the family they gather in my computer/sewing room. We have a large family room but everyone seems to go to that room; averge size room. They know when I'm home that's where I am. If I could get by with it, I'd take out the kitchen, but that might be taking things too far. I haven't tried to us it yet. My passion is machine embroidery and quilt piecing so when I'm home that's what I want to do. Someday I will try my hand at the frames. HAPPY QUILTING
