What a great thread. It appears as if we are moving to be closer to one of the sons. We are scheduled to close on the house in June but won't move for a few more months. Anyway Mr Stitchnripper insisted that I have my own room for sewing/quilting. He wanted a walk out basement which is unheard of where we live now. The new to us house has that with...a workroom and bench already there! Imagine my excitement. As most of you may know I am very much of a novice but I have managed to clean up and get running well several vintage machines with the help of all (or a lot) of you. I have a motor I want to expore which will be new territory for me after we move. So this thread is very helpful for me.
