You have the same Kenmore machine I have! It's my primary sewing machine and I love it. Anyway, my sewing room looks like that after a project. I don't know why I don't put things away as I go, but I don't, I just toss it out of my way pretty much in every direction. I moved my primary sewing machine into the family room, I was feeling too isolated in my sewing room. But in my sewing room I have my ironing table, cutting table, supplies, and flat screen TV. I also have a small machine set up on the cutting table for quickie stuff.
