If I already had a space, it would definitely be either a sewing cabinet for my machine or a long arm
|
money was no object? I'd have unlimited fabrics and a long-arm quilting machine.
|
i'd add on, make it a bigger room! My little "closet" size room is fun, but I'd love to have enough room to lay things out without running to another room.
|
With an unlimited budget ... I would get a great sewing cabinet , one where my machine bed is level with the cabinet surface, one with drop down extentions.
Whats the one thing I could not give up.... great lighting. Nothing makes me more crazy than to have shadows in my work space. When I had my space modified to be a sewing room the workman thought I was nuts when it came to lighting. I wanted the ability to have it bright as daylight .. if it was midnight. |
Couldn't live without my needle and thread (and sewing machine) - sorry couldn't limit myself.
And a long arm sewing machine if price weren't an object. |
It would be a good light. No matter how much light I seem to have I need more.
|
hmmmm - I would take everything out of my sewing room and have it custom designed with shelving and cabinets (A bigger room that would fit my long arm as well would be great) but also custom designed
What I can't live without is my Viking dewing machine |
Long Arm with a frame, I plan on taking over our second rec room in the basement so I'd have plenty of room for it, the one thing I couldn't do without my 12 1/2" square up ruler.
|
Long arm!!!

If you had your choice of one item to add to you quilting/sewing room with an unlimited budget, what would it be?? Also, what is the one thing you have right now you could not live without??
|
If money not an worry, I would want the long arm machine and all supplies to start a business, an awesome sewing studio. Can't live without my Janome sewing machines.
|
More space, & my sewing machine
|
Maybe a larger sewing room. I have a bedroom right now that is a little crowded. And, always more stash!
|
More shelves and clear container boxes to put my fabric kits in that I make up. And a better way to store fabric.
|
A house to hold the quilting/sewing room.
|
Would love a mid- or long-arm machine and frame. Had the chance to test drive one and love it. I don't think I could function well without my 60mm Olfa safety rotary cutter.
|
a house with a huge sewing room
my packet of size 12 betweens |
to add:
Thread cabinet quilting frames |
If unlimited budget I'd have a larger house with a big dedicated sewing space (and someone else to clean the rest of the house!).
Slightly more realistic: I'm currently jonesing for a Brother Innovis 750 embroidery machine. Not going to happen any time soon due to budgets, but.... Couldn't live without: stash and computer!! |
I'd like to add a cutting table. I have limited space so need a drop leaf or something that folds. Just haven't come up with the right thing yet. I wouldn't want to be without my 1/4 inch foot.
|
Definitely space! What could I not live without? Definitely a rotary cutter.
|
I agree--space. I tried to be the bigger person and take the smallest bedroom. Big mistake! I 'need' a design wall again! I used to have one and my floor isn't big enough!
|
I'd buy a new longarm with a 26" throat. Couldn't live without? My Elna Quilter's Pro. Love that machine.
|
Space for sure. Second would be a good sewing machine table that my Brother drops into and a really good cutting table thats not falling apart.But there is money involved in all that. Besides that It would be my own place so I could use my whole house for my sewing room if I wanted. LOL
|
Sewing Machine, could not do without. I'd love an embrodery machine if I could have anything.
|
Space, I would love to have a big open wall so I could have a design wall.
I could not live/sew without my Bernina sewing machines. :-) |
A beautiful, like new Singer 15-91 to do FMQ. Or a beautiful 15-91 clone in a great color... Or... Or.... Or....:p
|
space what i could not do without this grat quilt board and the great info it provides
|
My cutting mat and rotary blade. Makes life so much easier!!
|
If money was plentiful, I would get a Horn sewing table. The one with the adjustable height. I could not live without my rotary cutters
|
Looks like most of us would love more space regardless of how much we already have. I've been trying to talk my hubby into breaking down the wall between the sewingroom and guestroom but every time he agrees something changes my mind. Oh well........
I can't even imagine not having a sewing machine! |
A needle threader is my best friend.
|
A studio.
I can't get along without my sewing machine. |

I can live without any of it, but could not quilt without at least one sewing machine. |
No doubts about it I would HAVE to get me a MUCH bigger
sewing room and fill it with tons of storage drawers, shelves and add in some new machines huge cutting surface. What I can't live without? My computer and online quilting friends. Since I do not have many friends who UNDERSTAND my need for the fabric stash I love being able to discuss my need for sewing and quilting heck even for designing a quilt layout. |
I would get my Phaff 2140 repaired....one of the boards is apparently dead and I can't afford to get it repaired (and the nearest dealer is 100 miles away). Then I would learn to use it to it's capacity! Oh yes..then I would send all my finished tops to Charisma to quilt for me!!
What I wouldn't want to live without would be my stash and sewing machine that works! |
I'd hate to have to do without my rotary cutter and my shape cut ruler for cutting strips. With my neck and arm problem, I couldn't cut my pieces if I had to use scissors. What I'd like to add, well, more space would be good, but I'd probably just fill that up too, LOL. So instead I'll choose better lighting for my room.
|
If money was no problem, I'd have a much larger sewing room. My sewing room is too small. The one thing I would not want to do without is my Bernina sewing machine.
|
i would love to have a HQ16 sit down machine
i would be lost without my large space i have to use my big cutting mat, rotary cutters and my Ott light !!!! |
I would buy the fanciest Gammill Longarm quilting machine with the Statler stitcher! What I have that I can't live without... that is harder because there are several things.. probably my fancy Rowenta iron.
