I replied to the design wall question, but not what I like best and least about my sewing space. My sewing space is scattered, one room upstairs and two downstairs. Upstairs is where I machine piece and do machine embroidery and keep and use my ironing equipment. That sewing machine gets the best lighting, from both windows and an overhead shop light. Without that shop light on, I really cannot see as well as I need to. In the basement, one room is basically taken up with a 4' x 8' cutting table (with large storage unit underneath) and fabric/notions/book storage. I have 2 sewing machines and a serger in that room and set them on one end of the cutting table to use them as needed. In that room, I've removed the closet doors and have a large chest of drawers in the closet for storage. I also have 2 spring action shower rods across the closet opening where I hang pressed things such as binding, borders, etc. In another downstairs room I have an aluminum 12' Grace Frame with a high speed sewing machine; I am still in the practice mode with that frame and machine. Both the downstairs rooms also have good overhead fluorescent lighting. What I like best about all of it is that I don't have to put anything away; I cover stuff with old bed sheets to keep the dust off, but everything remains available for me to work on whenever I can. What I like least is that my husband thinks I am a space hog and periodically complains about it.
