I have one room (about 12' square) designated as the room to store, cut, and iron, with no wiggle room. Fabric and projects are on shelves or in clear bins, so everything is in view. Sewing machine is used in another part of the house where I also use a mini iron for the initial piece work. HOWEVER, hubby set up a Conex, (a storage/shipping container) 8 1/2' x 40, insulated, air conditioned, that I can use as I will, so I see a change in the future.
