My Ex always wondered why I HAD to have 3 machines set up all the time, ( my new husband understands completely!)He just didn't understand the beauty of having a each machine set up to do a specific task in such a small space ( 10x10); 1 for peicing, another to quit, and one to bind, The rolling chair is a must! I also got rid of the carpet in my sewing room, although I do tend to drag thread, and little snippets all over the house now.... small price to pay
