Since I started Quilting I have sewn in the basement. Granted they were finished basements. I have never had any problems with my machines. Sewing in the basement keeps my mess out of sight.
My dream would have been to have a room with very large windows. But I can't see that happening. we downsized a couple of years ago.
But I have a computer and 57" TV down there so it is not too bad. We need to get better lighting down there. Which is on my husbands long list I have for him.
