I have 6 machines, but if I had to choose just one, the 7570 would be it. My mom has the 1471 which is one of the earliest versions of this machine. It is 25 or 30 years old and she still loves it.

I like your set-up too! Very well organized. (I'm gathering ideas.)

Special features include a small ironing board that swivels and folds down completely flat at the end of the sewing counter, a pullout counter extenstion to the right of my main machine for pins, scissors, etc.. and a base for my chair to keep me from rolling out of position:D [ATTACH=CONFIG]351764[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]351765[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]351766[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]351767[/ATTACH] |
This room would make me very happy!!

Your chair looks as though it sits up high and your foot pedal is on a step stool? Am I looking at that correctly? How is it to sew like that? Is it comfortable?

Love your room! Does the lighting make the room warm? Even with the lights in my room, it warms up and I have to turn on the fan and open the window (I love menopause...NOT!)

Yes, my chair is high to accommodate the kitchen height counter. It took awhile to come up w/ the right combination. My foot pedal is on an adjustable foot rest. The foot rest has a non-slip top and sits on a wooden box (hubby pulled out from somewhere) to make it the right height. I am only 5' tall, so I am used to having to compensate to have things fit.
And, yes, I am quite comfortable:D

The only time I notice the lights making the room hot is when I turn on the lights under the cupboard during the summer. I think those lights are a different kind. My roomis in the basement, so that probably helps. Also, have not hit menopause, yet. I may have a different answer after I do!

Cindyg19 - that is called but first syndrome -- I'm going to do this but first I going to--- There was an old "Pickles" cartoon about that very thing. I have it posted in my frig cause I suffer from that also.

Looks like you've got everything you need right at your reach. My DH is a wood worker to. Isn't great how they help you make things for the hobby rooms. I've gone to Quilting classes and have actually sold some of the neat stuff he has made me. We are both lucky to have such wonderful DHs.

Your room is great. It looks so inviting and so functional.

I love how everything looks like it is handy, right there at your fingertips...saves so much time. I love it, I'm a little jealous. ha ha I'm "Drooling"

What a sweet hubby! Great room - so light, bright and organized!

love your room. Is that a long arm behind your sewing machine? If so, how much room do you have between it and your chair at the sewing machine? Are you bumping into it at anytime when you roll your chair out? I am looking to set my room up similar but am really worried there won't be enough room between the quilter and my sewing area. What is the pad underneath your chair? I have the same issue of rolling away from my machine. Drives me nuts. Sorry for all the questions.

Beautiful. I wish I could get my room organized enough to take photos to share.

It is not a long arm, but a short arm, I think. It is a Little Gracie frame with a Juki TLQ 98. I have 54" between my chair and the quilt frame (I went down and measured). The chair no longer has wheels, but I didn't have any trouble with bumping into the frame when it did have wheels. The pad you are referring to that is under my chair is a piece of particle board that my husband custom cut just for that purpose. DH is very clever when it comes to solving my sewing room issues.
