I'm finding it a big cramped. so....would you move the cutting table (which is 70 x 35) into the room with the fabric or would you put up with the cramped space and have everything at your fingertips. I have my sewing/embroidery machine, my featherweight, my ironing board (which is one I made 23 x 48) I guess I'm trying to figure out convenience vs space. Thanks as always for your input. Wendy :)
My cutting table is 5' x 3' and is mounted in the corner of my sewing room. Right now my embroidery machine sits on top of a treadle stand. And my Janome is on a dining room table. All my fabric is in two closets, the spare bedroom closet has all my larger cuts of fabric and extra batting. The closet in my sewing room is getting a makeover this month. A dedicated place for my embroidery machine and some new shelves and drawer space. My ironing board is mounted on the wall and I have a standard size one also.
