I'm right there with you , I have my two old sewing machines in
our Bedroom and everything in the way of my stash is in tubs in my bedroom closet, I'm still using the rotter cutter I have had for the last 9 years and sharpen them my self so have only brought one blade for it in the 9 years, all my material that is new has been given to me and all the rest is took apart clothing.
I still have only two rulers that I started out with 9 years ago.
So yes I don't have it all, but enjoy what I do have and make it work for me.. :D :D

I am lucky in that I have a 25x13 foot room. But it also has a daybed in it and is lined floor to ceiling with book shelves. (I always wanted a library and when we bought this house I claimed that room for that. (this was before I started quilting. So now I have a corner for my quilting, but I still have a large enough floor space to sandwich a king quilt. My only problem is that it hardly gets any natural light.

In my old (big) house we had a kitchen dining area but never put a dining table in it (just a kitchen table in the kitchen part) . So I had a big floor space to baste quilts on.
One time I had a dark, plaid wool quilt top on the floor, a visitor to the house walked on it - guess he thought it was a rug.

My 20 year old sewing machine ids in my bedroom. I do have a TV in there, and a roccker for when I want to read. Ihave the pattern cabinet that my husband made for me, plus the thread chest he made. I bought a new rotary cutter and a new ruler last month, and that is the only equipment I have bought for 20 years. What fabric I have is in the guest room closet or in a tub in the basement. I have a computer that is new, but it is in my kitchen. So yes, I might be called behind the times. LOL

people really have computers in their sewing rooms?

I"ve seen a lot of them in the pictures others have shown of their sewing room. I think a lot of the embroidery machines need them.

I have an extra laptop from work that's 4 years old. As the co. has grown I've grown from 1 laptop to 3 desktops. I do have my accounts payable on this as I try to keep personal stuff with me.

I "invested" in my Juki 98Q 2 years ago- to replace my 1973 Singer Touch N Sew, which now resides at my dd's.

My machine sits on a student desk from the 50s- I absolutely love it- the chair is smaller sized and perfect for me.

I've been collecting vintage sewing notions- sewing baskets, buttons, etc.

My machines are pretty new, but nothing fancy - a White ("Betty") and a Singer ("Sally") that have a few interesting stitches, but no computer screens on them. I do have an old Singer 66, but it is only for decoration. The computer is newer too, but only a $299 basic model - and is in a different room. They all work just fine for what I need them for!

Some embroidery machines require hookup to a computer.

But more probably they have the computer there so they can peek at this quilting forum as they go about their sewing!!!

Haven't room for it anywhere else in my little house.
