I had a similar problem in my basement studio (in Florida where it is hot most of the time). I had 4 ceiling fans and a dehumidifier (which adds heat when it runs but in Florida the humidity is high nearly all of the time). I had a window but that added heat and humidity when open so I finally got a window A/C unit that will keep my room under 80 most of the time. The fans do help and I also set a small fan in front of the A/C and pointed the fan up on an angle. That kept the cold air from blowing on me when I am at my Bernina right in front of it and cooled the air near my Pfaff and sergers. I keep my iron as far away as possible which also helps. Sometimes when I know I will be ironing large amounts, I put up my ironing board with a second iron in the adjacent room. I hope all the ideas you get here on the QB cool your room

Okay, we weren't sweating but it was warm in here to say the least...
Does anyone else have this problem or had this problem and solved it? I'd love to get some ideas on how to fix this. I wonder if a fan would help or if it would just blow hot air around...
