My studio is 16 x 30 and it is none too big. I have a cutting table, a desk with a second machine on it, a large corner unit for my computer and a Janome 15K, a wall of lower kitchen cabinets with drawers and a nice long top as well as two 4' x 8' wall shelving units. There is also a 8' table by my Handi Quilter Avante. The Avante is 12' long so you need room on both ends and both sides to be able to load a quilt and stand to quilt (takes a lot of space). I also have a small ref, wall hung TV, and a couple of file cabinets. Really packed room out in our barn shaped garage up on the second floor. I am a very lucky lady. My husband and I finished it up when I decided I wanted a long arm. Hope you get your dream studio.
