How noisy is your sewing?
#21
I make too much noise!
My sewing room is off the master bedroom through an arch. This room is considered a retreat or office and here isn't a door. The light and noise bothers DH so I have to quit when he goes to bed.
It wasn't my original sewing room. The switch happened when we brought the Grace frame home. There is a sliding glass door and it was the easiest place to put the frame. (I bought it used so it was mostly together and too large to move easily). Little by little my sewing got brought in because it was handier to have it all together.
I have a bedroom at the other end of the house that I was my craft room. I would like to make it back into my sewing room. I just have to find the time and energy to move all the stuff.

I have really old Singers, but my kids actually like to hear the sewing machines. My 6-year old begs me to stay in the sewing room while she goes to sleep- a comfort sound I guess? It's tough, but I try to comply!! ;-)

I use a 301A at guild and it is easily the quietest machine in the room. Much quieter than any of the new machines and I can still hear most of the conversations going on in the room. For the last 30 years my dogs and cats have never voiced an opinion.

Yup that's me too. My machine is quiet, so if the door is closed the most you will hear is a little hum. MIL has to have COMPLETE darkness to sleep not even a bit of light around the door. We had to remove her bedroom door so the wheelchair would fit, so once she goes to bed, I have to go back up stairs.[/quote]
Could you put a heavy curtain over the door when your MIL goes to sleep that keep her in the dark but doesn't force you upstairs?

My Singer 6022 is sooo oisy (150 from walmart years ago) but when I got my Janome 8077 from Hancocks my daughter was VERY happy. I can sew and she can still hear the TV. My 1600 P-QC is in the front room (we have 2 living rooms one is front room and other has tv we call living room) and doesn't bother anyone.
