I have a whole room in the basement and half a bedroom upstairs. I store & cut fabric & machine quilt downstairs. My serger and 3 sewing machines are there. I do most (patchwork) machine sewing, pressing/ironing, and all machine embroidery upstairs, where I also store all thread and many other sewing supplies. I hand quilt both up and downstairs; I keep my hand quilting supplies in a large basket, so it is very portable.
