I wonder where her 'real' sewing room is? :twisted:

I so agree w/Joanne! All I see in that room are 2 things....she needs a bigger room w/all that stuff (!)and I bet she does more cleaning and dusting in there instead of sewing!:)I say out w/the couch/loveseat-that being there means you will have someone needed a problem fixed while you work....among a few other things...:)Pretty...just not practical in my book...I like to spread out and make a mess...:)Skeat

I would never come out!

The clear table she has on her sewing machine is useless for quilting.
The quilt catchs on the front and on the sides. Mine now sits in a corner unused. Had to buy a table that my machine sits inside so it is level with table top. And that thing cost me 79 dollars, what a waste of money.
So my conclusion is this room is just for show, no real work done there.

I was lucky to see Nancy Zieman's private sewing room and it's very neat, everything has a place, no mess anywhere. She has lots of furniture made just for the sewing room. Nothing much is showing, not even her sewing machines.

My sewing room is pretty tidy and organised too - I can't work in a mess. Plus it's only about 6' x 8' so there's no ROOM for mess! LOL

Love it.

Skeat, how do you keep your quilt from catching on the edges?
It works fine for piece work but not for quilting.

that's not where she works. that's where the cleaning person works.

and if i had a sofa in my sewing room (read: basement) i would have altogether too much company. where is her stash and other thingies?
if it all fits in that armoire, then she doesn't have enough!

I've just got one too and only used it once, but I must say I had no trouble either - once I'd stuck the little rubber foot pads on it! :oops: Before that it kept sliding away but after it was fine. :D
