I agree with Granny CheeChee. It will not be long and you will need more storage and space. You will also rearrange the space a million times until you find what works best for you. I have found that a "U" shape works well. I have my machine in front of me and table to my left with a little cutting mat for quick fixes or trims and my ironing board lowered to my seated height to the right. Easy to turn in my chair for a quick press to a seam rather than be up and down the whole time. Have fun and enjoy your space.
