Welcome from central Florida, USA. I use to have my sewing machine on a card table and I had to take it down every time I finished sewing. I am now blessed to have a large room for all of my quilting, knitting, crocheting and other hobbies with lots of storage. That's the main reason I wanted to buy this house 20 years ago and I have enjoyed the freedom of leaving a work-in-progress out on the work table until I have a chance to get back to it.
