I guess I am unique. My sewing machine is in front of my window in the living room. My stach is in a closet( floor to ceiling). My batting is under the bed in our guest bedroom. I cut the stuff out on my table, so only one stepis done at a time and the project at hand is on the sewing machine. It works for my hubby and me Yes he alsomakes quilts. He has 4 ready to sew I have 2
