Mine is in the family room with the TV. The family room was the only room in the house with a long enough wall. We built a design wall and a rod for hanging quilts behind it. I have the HandiQuilter Avante'.

Tin Lizzie is in my finished garage -- clean floor, book cases and lots of shelves. It works!

Mine is in half of the Machine Shed.

This is the other half - and why we call it the "machine shed"

Macybaby, this such a cool area! I love your "machine shed". I haven't seen so many machines in one shed before!

Parked???? I had to laugh out loud. The head is parked behind the two recliners in the living room and the frame is in the garage.

I did have a huge two bedroom apartment that was all set up. But the banker thought better of the space and suggested I rent that out for a while. My hip was talking to me while doing it, so the next step is to decide where to move it, or to sell it, or upgrade to a computer package or what. My garage is ready for a make-over. I don't trust the water in the basement.

Mine is in the remodeled garage that we turned into the boy's playroom and when they all were moved out the space turned into my sewing room. It is well lit as we put in fixed door windows where the double garage doors were. It is a great space and was very easy to get the big machine moved into.

Most of my quilting friends included the cost of backyard quilting sheds in the cost of their LA set up. All they do is quilting in there and have the sewing room in the house. It was cheaper then adding a room to the house or remodeling.

Mine is in what used to be the formal living room, then exercise room, then paint studio where I taught painting and now it is the longarm room. I just bought a computerized A1 and I am so excited. Selling my old Tinn Lizzie.

I love your old machines. And I have the same oval little featherweight table...and a number of old sewing machines. :)
