For those of you that worry about pins. My DH found the neatest extension type magnet while browsing for new notions for me. He is the bestest quilting buddy I ever had. He will spend hours with me in fabric shops, help rip out mistakes and always give me an honest opinion on my work. AND he is always looking for something new that I don't have or will me have an easier time with my bad back. This magnet is so strong, I sit in my rolling chair and pick up all dropped pins. Got it at Wal-Mart. It has a red and black handle on it, thick for hands that are not so flexible anymore. I keep it close to machines in case I drop scissors, needles, etc. It is wonderful. I have fear of pins in my feet as well.

I have a rug in my sewing room that I love, but it is a big pain in the neck. My chair runs into it, my little plastic cart with drawers won't open. Unless you love that rug like I love mine, get rid of it. I always had a little old broom and at the end of the day sewing, I swept that area clean.

I have hardwood floors in my sewing studio....no rug....and can roll around to my hearts content....use a swifter to keep control of the dust and threads and such......like the smooth floor better than carpet which I used to have.....vacuum used to really inhale the threads badly on the rollers, with the swifter don't have that problem.....with a smooth floor is easier to see "lost pins" and such also.....
