I found that "daylight" neons in my lighting fixtures, gave me so much more light, it is just like sitting out in the sunshine. Have you allowed a good space for all your threads, and batting - I had drawers built to fit under my table for pins, measuring tapes, scrap pads, scissors, project drawers for my works in progress or UFO's, patterns, glue guns, mini iron, and all the bottom drawers I use for my seasonal shoe warehouse, various sized cutting mats, stencils, and notions that have to lay flat but need more than a shelf space.
