One thing to remember as far as setting up your sewing space. You might start out with the set up one way and find out as your pieceing that you want your space in a U or L shape. Depending on your room size and if you want ironing and cutting next to you or across the room so that you have to get up and move every so often... Since I first started quilting I have added a emb machine and supplies. I like to sew as I let the emb machine do its design.
Good luck
