As someone else mentioned, I would investigate cork flooring. What I've seen looks great, mutes sound, and you could still find the pins. I also do a sweep with a magnet from time to time!
At one time, I was in a converted garage with cement so I had the epoxy flooring put down. That was awesome! Although I don't think you could do that inside the house.

I have white ceramic tile in one area of my sewing room and carpet in the other area. (two rooms opened in one) I like the ceramic tile area the best. I have the cushioned floor mats on the tile by the ironing and cutting tables. The carpet absorbs the noise and gives some cozy to the room. The tile gives a bright clean look.

Concrete and it's not bad. I may put down some laminate or vinyl to soften it up a bit, warm it, but my chair rolls easily and dropped pins are easy to find. It looks like just about everyone recommends getting rid of the carpet

Absolutely go with a wood floor! If you have a rolling chair, you will have a much easier time using it on a wood floor. I actually broke a rolling sewing chair that came with my machine cabinet, because of the fact I have carpeting on the floor and it was so hard to push that chair around!!! Now obviously there are carpets with shorter naps which may not pose a problem, but if the carpet has much of a nap at all you will have to really push to get that chair to move where you want it to go!
