Please share pictures of your craft space.   What is the one thing you wish you had? Is there anything you would have done differently in setting up your space?
I need ideas please! My boyfriend recently moved into my house and we converted one of the bedrooms into an office for him.  So I had to give up my bachlorette ways, and make room for him (suprisingly he doesn't think the sewing machine should live on the kitchen table).  So I've been doing some major purging and now need to set up my workspace/office/woman cave to accommodate my ADD crafting~hopefully on a small budget to boot!
I'm thinking of getting rid of the oversized desk and using a 50" long countertop I took out during the bath remodel as a work table. But what should I do about the sink hole in the middle of it? I put shelving in the closet for storage. But can't decide if I should leave the sliding doors on, or maybe make a large curtain for the opening.  
So bring on the ideas and inspiration because I'm stuck on what to do.  

Brand: Bernette

Model: 715

Year: ? (Old!)

Cost: Free to Me (Inherited from my mom.)

How long have you had the machine? 4 years (but just started to "really" use it)

Is it a basic sewing machine, serger, or embroidery machine? Basic Sewing Machine

What are your favorite features? Easy to use, and portable.  I can set it up on the kitchen table and move it out of the way when needed.  It's light enough that it's not a  problem, but takes most of the abuse I throw at it (especially since I'm still learning and am give it a bit of abuse with some trial and error).

What are some of the unique features it has? Just a basic sewing machine.  Here's the manual: http://homeappliance.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/bernina/715.html?idRes=11630398

How well does it run? Just fine when I have it set up correctly.  99% of the time when it goes wonky I find I just need to re-thread. 

Has it ever broken or needed maintenance you couldn't do yourself? Nope, I had a problem with everything going wrong (bunched thread, broken upper thread, broken bottom thread, material getting stuck in the feed dogs, etc.)  Turned out it wasn't a problem with the machine at all, but the arm had broken off the bobbin case.  I'm a fairly novice sewer and didn't realize it at first. To be fair the bobbin case was probably the original and I don't always take good care of my things.  So I started from the top and worked my way down to try and find the problem, cleaning/adjusting everything I could.  It was fairly intuitive, especially since I'm still learning, nothing fancy or complicated to have to figure out.  By the time I realized the bobbin case needed replacing I had given it a good cleaning and it runs super smooth now.   

What are your least favorite features? I'm still learning so it has all the basic features I need, but if I were more advanced I might want something fancier-like decorative stitches.  For now it's a great little work horse.

Would you recommend this machine to a friend? Sure, it really is a sturdy machine.
