I do have a clock, but I haven't changed the battery for a long time and it keeps getting slower and slower. I think it's about 5 hours behind. Someday soon it will slow down to the right time.

I do but the battery is dead.

No clock in my sewing room! I just start sewing and don't give any thought to the time. I have been known to start at around 9:00 at night and all of a sudden it's 3:00 in the morning!! Then I get mad because I know I should get to bed -- but I'm not sleepy!! After 9-1-1 I stayed up all night sewing dog booties then taught school that same day! I started them at around 4:00 in the afternoon, and by the time I was finished I had made about 150 booties! Our school students decorated them with markers and off the booties went to New York City to Ground Zero!

If I have something I need to do or someplace I need to be at a certain time, I take some handwork into the living room where I do have a clock.

I have one Atomic clock so I set the others accordingly. But during the spring ahead or fall back times, I allow myself 2 days to catch up. I hate changing time. I live east of the Mississippi but function better on Calif. time. :roll:

I have a clock to remind me there are other things that need to be done besides sitting at the sewing machine!

That is the best kind of clock for a sewing room!!! I have one but I try not to look at it and just enjoy my time there.

My tv has a clock and I use it.

I do not have a clock in my sewing room since my time in there is all pleasure! I do have the ability to check the time on the tv, but it's rarely necessary.

I do have a battery operated clock in my sewing room -- which is always at least 5 min. slow....I need it to just give me a "general idea" of what time it is -- how much more time do I have to sew before I have to do (laundry, take clothes out of the dryer, get dressed before company comes, etc. :lol: :lol: )

I do have a clock in the sunroom where I sew, but I can't see it from my sewing table. I have either the radio or tv on most of the time, so that gives me some idea of the time, plus I always have my Blackberry with me That has a clock on the face. If I have limited sewing time, like in the mornings before work, I set the timer on my Blackberry. It plays Fur Elise when my time is up.
