I usually have just one major project at a time, but have just devised 2 additional small projects (lap quilt and pillow) from the current quilt left-overs. When I purchased the needed fabric for backs, etc, the quilt store owner willingly cut the pieces into manageable sizes for each project. Completed all the cutting needed and put everything in one box so they are more contained. While I have a wonderful set up for the combined use of my room (personal computer stuff, business records, bookshelves for storage) I have room to set up just one machine at a time, usually my Featherweight. The Brother is now set up for some heavier sewing, so temporarily set up the Featherweight in the kitchen to finish the quilt as that is the machine on which it was started. I use the dining room table for cutting and some layout work. Thankfully, there have been no complaints as it gets cleaned off for dinner guests. I generally use extensions with both machines, even for small projects which take up additional sewing table surfaces. I purchased a small rolling cart with drawers for storage of supplies and am gradually eliminating some of the baskets on the sewing table so perhaps I can set up the Featherweight again, with the Brother sans the extension. Recently purged a lot of my unused fabric to be given to guild members which helped with the mental over load.
