Love all that natural light, jmoore!

I physically did not have many choices when I set up my long arm but I did start with graph paper. It only fit in one spot. I have sloped ceilings and had to make the best of every square inch. These are photos when I "moved into" my sewing room. lol - (I would not share current pics - the room is so covered in fabric and projects you can barely see it lol). I had an odd pipe running through the room so my hubby put a small wall around and built shelves for my fabric.

You are wise to do your own research and planning. It really does depend on your individual needs and how you like to do your sewing/quilting tasks.

Do you have drawings or pictures to post? That may help with more suggestions for your room.

I don't have a LA but can tell you when you get it right there is a feeling. I moved some tables and machines in my sewing room. Then had to move them back to original layout since it just wasn't right.

They all are beautiful spaces....How lucky you are.

Graph paper is a great way to start, and blue painter’s tape on the floor is a good second step. After that I placed empty packing boxes, chairs and card tables in that footprint to give myself a 3D model to see what I could work with. Wasn’t pretty but it worked.

Me too. No matter the season, it is always bright in my sewing room. We have deer, fox an other critters that hang out on our property so I have a good view from up there. : )

Ah! Good to know. My next door neighbor works at the Bernina shop I go to and she's always generous with help if I need it. I'm going to take their classes too. It looks like a dream!! Can't wait to get my hands on it :)

I've got a long-arm machine, but all other stuff (fabric, batting, backings, stash) are kept in another bedroom. My empty nest is NOT empty.
