I was so lucky before to have a dedicated sewing room and a tolerant husband. Even luckier now that I have my spacious quilting studio (and still tolerant husband), but it wasn't always so...

I love these wooden "sweater drying racks". My original one was super and my son asked to have when he left home, since then I've had several some better than others. That one was sturdy and had more of a shelf structure so you could layout stuff flat if needed. This one is also sturdy and I bought for $4.00 at a local garage sale, this is the first time I've used it. For pluses, they are lightweight and fold down/set up easily, you can take them to retreats if you want. I use them when I am ironing long pieces to keep the fabric off the floor/dust/pet hair, you can double stuff up and down and all around. I also use them to organize my chains when I'm doing something like Bonnie Hunter projects where I'm making a kazillion units. Keeps them from tangling/lets you count easily. The rest of the time, it folds up neatly and gets stowed away.

Today most of my pieces were small, fat quarters or so, but the racks can handle quite a load of fabric. At a certain point it almost gets sturdier by the weight.
