I recently got a Featherweight 221 which now resides in the table that was my aunt's (made specifically for this kind of machine way back then). It is in my bedroom in a space that is perfect for it against the wall. I also have a big Pennsylvania blanket chest in there that has my stash and notions and etc in it. I have two other machines (Brother XR52 and a Kenmore) that need repair. I have not rushed to repair them since I love my Featherweight so much. I still use my cutting board on the dining room table and put it away when not in use as we do not have a table in the kitchen. The DR and Kit. run into each other and is a nice large area but I don't want another table in there.
I do have a large quilt frame that my DH made with a hardware kit from Hinterberg and we purchased the lumber and pipes to roll onto. We figure we saved about $300 at least doing this. That resides in the family room in the back end of the house over to the side so that it is not cluttering the room at all. I do have a guest room back there but don't want to turn it into a sewing room (at least at this point) since I do have a lot of company from out of state. So that is my setup.

What's a gal gonna do? I try to keep it tidy--need more shelves etc. I do like having the small sewing room to retreat to. Two people can hardly move around together in there. My santuary! And it is my house and I will do and have what I want where I want! LOL
