I used to sew at the kitchen table too. I have my own sewing room but also have kids in the house still and never fails when I sew my sewing room is the place to be. Guess my crowd just follows me...lol I think it's because that's where the Wii is!! When we move back to the states the chances of me having a sewing room again is slim for some time so good thing I like it either way!! I still sandwich, baste and hand quilt on the table though.
