Well, my sew/stash area is an add-on to a mobile home. Which the man of the house has said between the furniture, fabric in a cabinet, my book (he isn't even including the stash) that the add-on might just pull off the house. So I am trying to use it up along making quilts, clothes, gifts, purses - whatever I can. I even had a friend offer to help me organize my stash (I need help) but I'm embarrassed for her to see the mess.

I could see how that might happen. I just moved all of mine to a big closet in my hallway. We have a concrete foundation!!!! Thank the Lord!!!

Note to self...buy another house jack for under sewing room...

Sewing room is a porch of a 70 year old house...I have 1 house jack under it, as a precaution...must have more. This porch was a bit off kilter before me and my stash moved in, so I didn't do it!

Her sewing room was in an upstairs bedroom above her living room. One day she came home and her sewing room was IN her living room. The floor could not support the weight of all the fabric she had and it caved in!

Would your stash cave your floor in? I keep mine divided in enough places so that it won't!
I only have one floor-- the ground and I made the sewing room with my own 2 hands and know the floor will NOT cave in on me.

7 featherweights.? If you are ever wanting to sell one at a reasonable price and in working order, get in touch with me. I have been watching them on e-bay and can't afford the price of them. That would complete my quilting wish...
