My main sewing table is at a right angle to the wall under a window. I tried having my back to the wall but it didn't feel right. I have a 7 foot table and two adjustable tables along one wall. The one furthest away from me holds my embroidery machine. I also have a Horn sewing table but I'm going to sell it as it's not necessary. I bought it for my embroidery machine forgetting about the embroidery arm. Still it allowed me to save $300.00 off my Janome table for my 6600. I have cement floors so can scoot all around on my wheeled chairs. I'm just so glad to have my sewing room, my retreat,"My Happy Place".
