If by lower level you mean main level - I'd go with that. If by basement, I'd have to ask how warm is it in the winter and will you have a way to heat it to a comfortable level (my situation now).
I'd also take the larger room and add more lighting options. Remember mirrors reflect light too so if you can add one or two to the walls that will help.
Is the second floor near where someone may be sleeping while you sneak in early morning or late night sewing?
Guess I'd have to say lower level

Room B is 10.8' x 19' (205 sq.ft.), on the lower level with two windows but not as much natural light available (as it's on the lower level).
ok...my post not showing lol...I said I prefer not to use the stairs...I have 10,000 sq ft to play in and all the rooms have great natural light, although I still use artificial as well. My big question is do I have to worry when I have the fireplaces lit?
Downstairs personally...but that is cause I can't do stairs.
I love natural light, but for fabrics it would seem a bad thing:)
So small room with nice natural light, versus very large room with not as much natural light.
Which do you think you would prefer?
