I'm so glad I found this thread. We are hoping to eventually move to a house across the state. We love the house and it is plenty big for us but none of the bedrooms are big enough for my longarm. We considered taking out a wall between the two, adding a sunroom to the one (won't work because of the snow roof) or building a shed/studio in the backyard. I've kicked this around for months now, but am concerned about two things. One is adequate heat, light, etc. for sewing. Second is not being able to just go down the hall to stitch in my robe. With our winter weather I would need to suit up and shovel to get there. Not easy to run for snacks and iced tea either. How did you address these issues?
