My first time here but I have to tell you I now have a Juki and 10 ft frame in my........entry hall. lol Everyone who visits comes to the back door so my 10 x 6 entry hall is juuuussst big enough. In fact, my new babylock crown jewel was shipped today and if it is too loud, then I dare my hubby to clean out the junk building and I will gladly move. I also have 2 sewing machines in my great room that is semi open to the entry hall. I use the dining table to do my cutting and it all works fine. Where there is a will, there is a way.
Good luck to you
