I took over the Master Bedroom

OK, the rooms in my house aren't big to begin with and I will still also be in the old sewing room (cutting table and ironing board).
I bought a juki machine last year from a friend on another forum and then the quilting frame to put it on and so it began........
Today DH put the tables and draws together (IKEA)

Did you save a room for your sleeping? You have a wonderful DH to give up a bigger bedroom for your quilting. It looks like a great space for sewing.

Looks like a lot of fun ! What a generous Hubby to give you the biggest room for your hobby :)

Rubesgirl 02-17-2012 06:06 PM

Looking good! Do you use your big mirror for checking the back of your quilting on the frame?

ksdot417 02-17-2012 06:34 PM

I have a husqvarna designer I, rose, and 905 serger and an janome cover stitch machine, the machine on the frame is a juki.

That is a great idea, I am new to quilting to that was for fitting clothes on myself but, I like your idea

StarofMoonDancer 02-18-2012 04:25 AM

Wow. Lucky lady. Looks great.:):)

Your sewing room is amazing. I love the way it is set up and the tables with your machines looks like a perfect setup. There are no IKEA stores in my part of the world and I haven't found any place comparable. Your wall color is so pretty and soothing.

Iggys Mom 02-18-2012 05:11 AM

With that much good equipment who needs sleep???? enjoy you can sleep later.

paulswalia 02-18-2012 06:15 AM

I am curious how you feel about your Juki. How big is the arm? I'm replacing my machine on my quilting frame
and was interested in one with about a 13-15 inch arm. So far, I've found the Bailey.

tedytrser 02-18-2012 08:26 AM

Very Very nice!!!

Sew Freak 02-18-2012 10:54 AM

N i i i i i i c e ! ! ! BTY...how do you like your Juki?

isabella 02-18-2012 03:22 PM

What a wonderful idea I wonder if I'd get away with that so far I have onesewing room and one scrapbooking room but I think ifI asked for our bed room which would meen sleeping in the lounge room I'd get one of THOSE looks

matraina 02-18-2012 04:39 PM

Love it; the colors of the walls, the curtains, and the white furniture. I would love a room like that!

Jingle 02-18-2012 05:44 PM

You have two great rooms for your quilting, Lucky you.

emsunfire 02-18-2012 05:48 PM

For those who have asked about the juki, I really haven't played with it much yet. It has a 9" throat.
I got to play in my new room today because I had some things to get done for my quilt guild meeting tomorrow but after that I have to work on figuring out where everything is going.

mshollysd 02-19-2012 07:17 AM

I love my Juki 2010 and have it on a frame (which I purchased from a member from this board). For the cost of my set up it is wonderful. I have less than $1500 for the whole set up including stitch regulator. You are really limited to the type of free motion quilting your can do because you don't have a huge throat but for meandering and "cute" meandering it works good. I have been able to make waves and everything with mine. If you want to do quilting professionally you may want to get bigger machine, but the way I look at it, it will get me through this time, and even if I get a bigger throat machine down the line, I will still have the best work horse for piecing in the Juki. That is just my opinion but I free motion quilted 6 queen size quilts on a singer embroidery machine the Christmas before last so this is so much better.

jcrow 02-19-2012 09:56 AM

My room is so the opposite of yours. Nothing matches. I have all types of dressers for my fabrics and rubbermaid tubs under my cafeteria type tables to store more fabric. I have bookcases and storage units and lots of FQ boxes I bought, all to store my fabric. I put my 24x72 cutting mat on my two long tables with a piece of plywood (cut the same size) under it so it doesn't sag. My room is cluttered. I always have too many projects going at once. Compared to your room, my room looks like a crazy woman lives there. How I would love to have your desks and tables. I love the white on them. Classy look!

rilene 02-19-2012 10:44 AM

Wow! What a beautiful set-up!

nana4baj 02-19-2012 07:34 PM

Could I ask you what all do you have on your Juki on your frame to make it into a quilter machine? I wold like to do that to mine...........Could you please let me know> Thanks

My Juki is on the Grace Start Right Frame

Very nice! Love your floor color, so organized!... I'm jealous of of your counter space.

cmkijk 02-20-2012 09:23 AM

great table set up. IKEA model numbers? tho i don't have as many machines, the work station set up would be fabulous in my 'play room'. thanks for any info. keep quilting!

kbonafede 02-20-2012 10:15 AM

Isn't the bottom line that your quilts are beautiful works?? Not where they come from

By the looks of your quilt photo, you create beautiful quilts. I think that you should stand up and take a very large bow, and be so incredibly proud of working in "any space" to make your expression of quilts happen. Some of us are very wonderfully clean when we sew projects, and others of us just work better in a messy and creatively chaotic environment. Both working environments serve a purpose.....allowing us to evolve into "makers" of something beautiful. The clean white lines and multiple machines on new cabinetry is so fabulously beautiful that we all covet having this much organization and cleanliness. And I imagine the quilts from this space will be enormously satisfying to complete. Congratulations to all of us for working with our limitations to create beautiful quilts!!

Boy you are observant...I had to go back and look for the mirror.

GREAT idea...now I know why I've been hanging onto an ornate 24x70" wall mirror.
