DH and I both share a love of quilting and quilting machines. Go for it! Our " living room" has 4 machines in tables. Two are working treadles and one is a work in progress. Eight more machines share the floor space and 3 featherweights are on display in a glass hutch. My " formal" dining room table is for laying out and planning blocks unless we are working on a big project downstairs. We sew and display machines in every room in the house except the kitchen, bathrooms and our bedroom. Downstairs we have a studio for the long arm, a spare bedroom that stores thread and fabric and a huge room with a large cutting table. Don't have much company so we live the way we choose!!!
