    very similar to what I do. My ironing board is always up and ready to go. Helps when that extra support is needed!

    That is one of those thread holders. It has a metal base. I use cones and the thread from CT. Also seems to make the tension feed better, at least to me, from the spool to the machine.

    It looks like you have a good set up all figured out. Good thinking. I love your quilt inspector, and he sure sounds better trained than mine.

    Thank you Prism99 for the website. I have been wanting to make one - but this looks to be all inclusive instead of trying to put things together that I am not sure about.

    I like how Furballs had to rearrange, I too have tried various ways and now decided to break down and just order it.

    I like your setup. Somewhat like mine, but much more room to spread out. I can also see that you like Willow Bend Creations. Your wall hangings are great! I did the bear from them for my grandson.

    Looks like you're doing very well with what you have!

    Did you upholster your chair? I like it!

    Looks great to me. I am space challenged in this house. You have a custom chair cover and a lovely furry assistant. Who could ask for anything more?
