I know that not everyone uses a fan to help cool themselves while sewing, but my wife and I don’t run the AC down very low, and use free-standing fans to circulate the air instead. This Spring has been extremely hot here and we've used the fans quite a bit. Every once in a while, I find myself “fighting the wind” when handling my thread or fabric at my needle. Not to mention all of the thread trimmings that get blown across the top of the trash can onto the floor.
If you use a fan, is it a ceiling fan or a free-standing fan, and have you came up with any secrets to avoid turbulence at the needle but still get good air movement toward yourself?
