My friend has a wonderful setup...her long arm is in a L off of the sewing room. Can't do both at once, and she hated having to clear room to get around (so as not to trip over everything when quilting). She has 5 stations plus the cutting table in the center, ironing board has extra large board on top and is at right angles to the cutting table so pressing is available to all stations and the cutting table. She also has a trash container at each station, which saves alot of steps! don't forget MORE LIGHTING THAN YOU THINK YOU NEED!
