I do have a clock, but don't pay attention to it.

I have a clock in my sewing room but I rarely look at it. If I have something important like making dinner, I set the alarm on my Bernina 820. When the dealer told me about this feature I laughed but I use this feature often. Who woulda thought ???

I do but usually just stop sewing when I get tired.

Like others here, my body or hands tell me when it's time to quit. There is a clock on the A/C remote but I only use that if there is something I want to listen to (watch). I have a radio/CD player but no computer. It stays inside the house or I'd never get any sewing done.

My DH made me a quilted clock (Dresden Plate pattern modified) and I love it. It hangs on the wall BEHIND my sewing chair so I really have to make an effort to see it.

I may spend most of a day in my sewing room- but i set timers to take breaks- so i don't wind up with a back ache- or something else, so i stop for lunch, a drink- what ever. I tend to be pretty organized (time wise) most of the time & know what activities i need breaks from after 45 minutes & what i can do for 2 hours before i should stop for a bit. ... taking a break right now- :)


This is about the same thing I do. I don't have a clock in my sewing room but use the timer on my cell. Works for me.

The clock in my sewing room has not been set since the power went out in a summer storm 2 years ago. My husband yells across the house whenthe 5:00 news comes on.

I don't have a clock either and don't want one either.

Yes, I have 2 wall clocks in my sewing room but they may need to have the batteries changed or maybe they aren't set to the right time, I think they were set correctly when I set my room up 4 years ago! I am not a clock/watch watcher.

I don't have a clock in my sewing room but feel I need to get one. The day just gets away from me and I'm late starting supper some time.
