Living in our 5th wheel usually half of the year (in this day and age you gotta go where the work is), I usually have a couple of machines with me. Have a 30 X 60 table that I use - put the machine in the middle, small cutting board on one side and ironing pad on the other. When I'm not using the table, it goes behind the couch, the machines go under the entertainment system and the fabric is in totes in the basement. Current projects are in the uppers over the chairs. My Bernina has never had an issue being with me. My biggest problem is the number of quilt stores in this country - always take an empty tote to handle the overflow situation!
