Thank you all so much! I have rearranged my sewing room and put painters tape in the floor to see what I could work with. I was thinking of taking off closet doors ad adding floor to ceiling shelving in the closet. I will tape 14' and see if that allows me to walk around the frame. One more question. In laying out my tape, I currently have it exactly 10' & 12'. Is that fine, or do I need more length ? Does that make sense? Thanks for suggestions. I think my ironing board will have to be relocated.
