You're not the only one...I use my family room as my "main" sewing area, although I use the kitchen, dining room, another bedroom, etc. I didn't realize it would take so much space when I became interested in quilting a few months ago. I'm one of those people who like everything in its place all the time and when you quilt, that's just not possible. I also love vintage machines and have a small collection, which means there's sewing machines in every room.
