I wonder is replacing windows with skylights would help with available wall space.

Looking to retire next year and currenly have fabric filling 2 rooms in 3000 sq ft home and will be moving into a 14x60 mobile home.

Nope! Not big enough. I had a nurse comrade at the hospital where I worked who ended up buying a WHOLE house next door to house her long arm, stash, work space... Well, that's a bit much, but I think if you collect any stash at all, organizing supplies, and having enough room to work, the small shed would be insufficient. Of course, if you are ridiculously organized, and have no UFO'S to speak of, then it may work. Wouldn't for me, though! (29 UFO's...yikes!)

i would go 24 by 24 i have 4 machines and also a long arm and that is in a different room. that way incase someday you get a long arm and more machines they would all fit and lots of storage. i dont have one but that is my dream.

I have a storage shed, we call it my attic. I keep my fabric in the house. The things I do keep out in the shed I put a dryer sheet in each tub. It doesn't keep bugs out, but it kills them before they can do any damage.

I have a ten room house and still got the 12' x 36' shed. We put a wall up to make a 12' 24' and a 12' x 12' space. The larger became my workroom for my miniatures and the small space for storage. Have had it for 15 years. It's gone thru rain, a hurricane, a hail storm and is still going strong. In Florida, I had to put a ventilator fan in one end of the work room. Outside temps 65 and up are okay, but anything over 80 is too hot to work. This was one of the best investments I ever made besides DH.
