I'm lucky I have the whole basement to myself. My cabinets are up against the walls, I have 9 of them and 2 dressers all filled with fabric, and then my cutting table has six kitchen cabinets that i re finished and stained a un finished door and put moulding around it and laid it on top of those six cabinets and thats my cutting area. I have plenty of room to keep that in the center so I can walk all the way around.
