    I open the doors at each end of the house and have the fans at either end to create the movement - it is cool in the room I sew in but not a howling gale - more like a refreshing breeze...

    Because the washer and dryer are in the same small room as my sewing machine, sometimes the room is very warm. We have a fairly large oscillating fan, which I set on the floor--moves air, not materials. piecefully, the old one

    I have a ceiling fan in my sewing room, plus my sewing table sits facing two big windows looking out over the big maple trees in my back yard - there seems to always be a nice cool breeze because I'm a block from the ocean. Rarely need the a/c on.

    Here in the UK it is not normal to have AC, not really needed but I do have a super fan, it has a large clip to fix onto any shelf and is directional, it's not over large but is great for me. I fix it to the high shelf behind and above me and direct it to the wall so the cool air bounces back over to me, no problems with it at all.

    I have ceiling fans and AC. Have no problem with the ceiling fan moving things just Kitty Girl when she gets on the table.

    My sewing area is in the dining area of our kitchen, so there is a ceiling fan in there. Well there are ceiling fans in every room : ) to be honest. Of course most of you do not have 114 for your highs. We keep the a/c going as well as the ceiling fans. The fan does not move things around.

    I have central air but I hate high power bills so I keep it set on 78 degrees. That works just fine downstairs with the ceiling fan but my sewing room is upstairs with no ceiling fan...ITS HOT! So I bought a small window unit, run it on low (only when I'm actually sewing in the room), and put a small fan in front of it, close the door, and away I sew! When I'm done sewing, I turn off the window unit and open the door. the fan blows the cooler air into the rest of the upstairs.

    I use a ceiling fan during the hot weather, just to give me something to breathe along with the AC.

    I put the fan off to the side and sort of behind me. It seems to help. :)
