Thank you so much! Having OCD is a curse, but it does make for a really organized craft room :) Hope you are getting to create more very soon! Thanks for watching!
for my design wall, I put up a huge piece of cotton batting - fabric sticks to it like glue! I did have to use thumb tacks but it has been up on the whole wall since 2012 and no need to replace
Oh my goodness, I have the very same white Husky expandable work bench! I just upgraded to it a few months ago. I absolutely love how stable it is and how everything I need to work on machines is easily stored away inside. Best investment I have made so far for my sewing machine business. Love to see it in another sewing room! You both are doing a great job with your channel, love how you two work together and share this passion. You make a great team!
Thank you so much for the feedback and kind words. That is great that you use the same table setup as us :) It was a hard investment to swallow, but worth every penny in our space. Love your channel as well. Just subscribed. Happy to support you! Keep up the great work. Thanks for watching!
Love the toolbox idea, its so nice to have people posting stuff like this. My sewing room could use work to add to the problem i have industrial machines as well that i work with.
Thank you so much! Having industrial machines is a problem that I would very much like to have :) I love making bags and gear for dirt biking but I really don't have a machine that will chew through all of the layers like I would like. One day... Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! We are very lucky indeed to share the same hobbies and interests. After 30 years together I guess we have figured it out :) Thanks for watching!
Your video is so inspiring. Weve thought about building a room onto our house but using your idea of layout i might not have to. My husband gave me a red tool box years ago and i didnt know what for...he is OCD and didnt like the mess. Regarding your Pfaff, my mom bought one in Germany in 1960. She sewed everything on it. I have it now but it needs some work. She had the motor worked on but they did something wrong. I see you are Idahoans, me too. Love to know where youre located, Im in Boise.
Thank you so much! We are glad to have inspired you. That was our hope in sharing our space on the channel. Ya, a good tool box can solve a bunch of problems :) That is great that you have your mom's original Pfaff. Sewing machines are memory makers and memory passer-downers. Sorry you are having trouble with it. I am getting ready to take apart our Pfaff 360 to clean and lubricate her. The Pfaff machines are really different inside. The Germans had a way of over complicating stuff. Awesome machines but a little intimidating to work on. That is cool that you are Idahoans as well. We live in Nampa but grew up in downtown Boise. Awesome part of the country :) Thanks for watching!
I recognized the Pfaff 360! That was the machine I learned to sew on. It was my mom’s, which I inherited. It runs great! I have the case and all attachments and lots of extra bobbins. I also have the original manual. She took great care of her machine and she made many (hundreds if not thousands) of clothing articles including her winter gear and snowmobile suits. I sewed all of my school clothes from sixth grade on. I wish I had room to display it in my 10x10 room.
That is so cool! Sewing machines are memory makers for sure. There is nothing better than retaining your parent's machine that you grew up with :) Think of all the money you saved making your own clothing. I really want to make my own clothing as well. I just need to gain the confidence to make it happen. I have a lot of respect for those that can pull it off. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! Ya, having OCD is a blessing and a curse :) I just function better when everything is organized. I am sure your sewing space is just perfect for you, however it looks. I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching and following along!
Just found your channel. I love all of your vintage machines and it's awesome that you restore them yourselves. I would love to see more about your Viking, since it's one of your favorites. I'm a Viking girl myself. I have a 6010 and 2000 (plus a couple of modern ones). They are tanks! Wait until you come across a 2000 - that green will make you fall in love! I also have a Featherweight and a 66 Redeye treadle. That's the extent of my collection, but I do love seeing yours!
Thank you so much! Wow, sounds like you have a great collection of machines as well. Yes, the Viking machines are awesome! We are still waiting to come across a featherweight that is in our price range. Hopefully one day we will have one :) Thanks for watching and following along with us!
@@NeverTooMany2023 I was lucky and got my FW many years ago before the prices became insane! I think I paid around $100, including case and all the doodads (also LOVE that you say doodads because that's what I call them too). I pulled the FW out the other day with my vintage buttonholer because my modern Viking's automatic buttonholer was acting up and I lost patience. I'm a garment sewist, but I do dabble in quilting now and then.
@@debbiecook4270 That is great! Ya, the prices of FW machines is getting out of hand. It is really mostly a novelty price. I have worked on a couple and had the pleasure to sew on them as well. They are super neat and cute but I don't see them being so superior in quality to justify the prices they are fetching. I saw a white one listed for 1700 dollars! It doesn't diminish our desire to own one...or five :) ... just have to wait until we can find one that needs a little work :) That is awesome that you sew garments. We recently picked up a thrift store serger. I have gotten as far as figuring out how to thread the thing and try it out. Stacey is a quilter and I like making bags. I really want to start making my own clothing. It is super intimidating. Full respect to those of you that can create garments :)
LOVE your space! I have about 50 vintage machines now and it’s really helpful to see how you have everything laid out and organized. I’m working on my pfaff 360 now too! Just finished taking apart and fixing the zigzag mechanism and about to start working on the embroidery unit.
Thank you so much! Sounds like we are in the same boat :) I think we hover at about 50 machines as well. I am really glad you were able to relate our space to your own. That's great that you are working on your 360 as well. The Pfaff machines are so different than the other makes. I can't wait to start taking ours apart as well. Good luck with your project. Thanks for watching and following along!
@@NeverTooMany2023 the pfaff is very different and the manual is confusing. It has taken me several days and hours just to get the zig zag mechanism fixed. I had to boil a part in water for a few minutes just to get it to come apart. Good luck with yours! Hopefully it isn’t gummed up and you won’t have to do too much to get it working.
Just found your channel, love it. I wish I'd found it before I spent $6,000 on my quilting table. I love the adjustable Husky tables. I may have to get one anyway. Great job and great sewing room. Love all the quilts and especially the sewing machine wall hanging. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! Wow, your quilting table must be really nice. I really love our Husky tables. They have been just wonderful. Thanks for the kind words and thank you for watching!
Thank you so much! Once we got it all in place and working we knew we had to show others how great it works out :) Thank you for watching and following along!
Thank you for the tour. Also OCD, but a garment sewer. Always fun when DH has to ask me for tools. Recently it was 18 inch zip ties, which reside in my corsetry bin with the large bolt cutters for spiral steel boning. Oh so many rabbit holes!
Thank you so much! That is great that you are a garment sewer. Lol...ya a little OCD goes a long way in keeping your craft room organized. We just got our first serger machine recently. I am very interested in making/modifying clothing. It is a bit intimidating but one day I will work it out. Much respect for those that have the talent :) Life without zip ties is not a life in which I would like to reside :) Thanks for watching and following along with us!
Thank you so much! Ya, we have been really happy with the toolbox/table combo. They are really versatile and have improved our production greatly. Thanks for watching!
I have a dear friend in Meridian that uses the husky tables for her machine. I have been thinking about using them. I am getting a new sewing room soon. Will probably have to give up my phenomenal sewing desk my husband built for me. We got it into the basement but are pretty sure we won’t be able to get it out. Except in sawed up pieces. Oh well new furniture right! By the way I am an Idaho native that got misplaced in N Dakota January 31, 2020. I go home to Idaho at least once a year and generally for at least a month. I miss the mountains. I loved your red shirt saying you love Idaho.
Thank you so much for sharing. Good luck with your new sewing room build. I am sure you will make it come together in the most perfect way :) Ya, the Husky tables are a must! I hope N Dakota finds you well, though I don't blame you for missing Idaho. We feel extremely fortunate to live in such beautiful country. We can get in the car and within 1 hour be surrounded by lush forest and river scenery. Thanks for the comment. Thanks for watching and following along with us!
I’m brand new to your channel. I love a tour of any workshop/studio/craft room etc. thx for the content. Why do you have so many machines? Do they have unique purposes?
Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it. It was really fun bringing it to you all. It was a year or two in the making, but we are really happy with how it all turned out :) Lol...we just love old sewing machines. We never intended to collect them, they just sort of started following us home. Once we had 30 or 40 of them, I decided to start a RU-vid channel so I could share our passion with others. They really have no long term purpose. We don't sell them, we just collect them. Most of our machines are from thrift stores. We like the thought of saving them from the landfill :) Thanks for watching and following along!
Love this vlog. Thanks so much for sharing your commitment to personalising your sewing spaces so that it just absolutely works for you, for each of you. It looks amazing, and is sooooo practical, it’s awesome! I am truly inspired to keep working on mine for achieving the best possible ‘fit’ for my needs. Am so glad I happened on your channel. Thanks again, Susan in the UK x
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! We are really glad that you enjoyed our tour. We are super happy with how it all worked out and we are glad to show it all in hopes of inspiring others to work out their spaces in turn. It is so nice to hear from viewers from around the world. Sewing is truly a global phenomenon. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much guys, that was really interesting and enjoyable. We may be moving house soon so it's given me lots to think about for a new sewing room. Greetings from a little market town in North Wales UK. 🙋♂🙋♂👌👌
Thank you so much! We are really glad you enjoyed it. It was fun to produce. Greetings indeed, all the way from the UK :) Sewing is truly a global phenomenon. Good luck with your new home venture. I am sure that your sewing space will be just perfect for you :) Thanks for watching and following along with us!
What a team! Thank you both so munch for the tour and sew many ideas. I love doing my after project cleanup reorg. Your wonderful organisation wou ild save me a lot. Of time but I might miss the fun. I think your set up is awesome. Love from SW France❤
Thank you so much! We are a pretty good team indeed. We are lucky to enjoy the same hobbies and activities :) We are glad that you enjoyed our tour. We enjoyed making the video as well. Thanks for watching all the way from France!
First time watching you guys and enjoyed seeing your sewing set-up's. I just ordered a Husky adjustable 52" table with one drawer. It will go in my closet area and hold my Brother Innovis BQ3100. I've also had several vintage machines but currently only have a Singer 301A. I had to scale down when we moved from a large home in AZ to a small home in PA last year. I love vintage machines and would have more if I had room for them so I'll have to be content to look at yours. BTW...the picture of the Corvair on your computer reminded me of the first car I ever had. It was a 1962 Corvair and my parents bought it for me when I started nursing school in 1965 :) Thanks for the tour.
Thank you so much! We are really glad that you found us :) Congrats on the Husky table! You will absolutely LOVE it! Wow...if you are only going to have one vintage machine, the 301A is a beauty. It has definitely become one of our very favorites! Lol, ya the Corvair seems to be a "memory" maker. So many people have stories about them (which we love to hear). We have 3 Corvairs currently. Thanks for watching and following along with us!
That's great. It sure makes it nice for getting up and down out of the sewing station, also working in an L-shaped configuration it makes it handy for accessing both tables. Efficiency is everything!
Love these tables and tool box--going to ask Santa for all these items for xmas. Will save me having a cabinet maker do the job that I thought I wanted----thanks so much for this video
Thank you so much! I am glad that you liked it :) Ya, these tables being on wheels, being height adjustable, and all matching makes them an awesome utility choice for any craft space. Thanks for watching and good luck with Santa!
You've given me a lot of ideas, thank you. I'm moving into the den here and it's 12x12 so I now have layout ideas and the tip on using Husky tables and a tool chest is exactly what I need, but didn't realize it until I saw how your room is configured. The design wall is perfect too! Alas, there's no closet but I'm going to get IKEA book shelves for my fabric. 🎉
That sounds great! I am really glad we were able to help you out, if at all :) I am sure your space will be awesome! Thanks for watching and following along!
I love the toolbox. I would love to get one but my sewing room is in our upstairs and up a narrow staircase. I strongly suspect my son would refuse to haul one up.
The hallway is beautiful. I love that Husky storage table. I am thinking I need to figure out a way to organize my space so it's more efficient and pleasing. My room is a multi purpose room. You two make a great team, having the same hobbies. I love it.
Thank you so much! I am sure your room is awesome and you will only make it better :) We are super lucky to share the same interests and hobbies. Thanks for watching and following along with us!
Just found your channel. Love the video! I’m currently rearranging my sewing/quilting rooms. I appreciate your ideas. Thank you for sharing. I’ve definitely subscribed to the channel. 😊
Thank you for the wonderful tour. I liked that it was practical and not cutesy. I have several vintage machines and this video gave me great ideas to set up my craft room . I finally will not have to use kitchen table.
Thank you so much! Ya, we are not really the cutesy type of folks :) I am glad that you were able to get some ideas for your craft space. I am sure it will be awesome! Thanks for watching and following along with us!
My husband and I both sew. Mainly quilts. But because we both have many hobbies, our whole house appears to be a hobby room…which is a problem when guests come…lol!
Lol. That is great that you both sew. Stacey sews very well. I just play a sewing guy on tv :) ya, the house does tend to get a bit crowded from time to time, but at least we all have fun right? Thanks for watching!
To looks like my sewing room. I have two cabinets, one is a smaller one that holds my embroidery machine and a table from home depot. love the storage in the cabitnets. I had to laugh at the black shelving unit in the closet, that is where I ended up putting mine once I got the smaller husky cabinet.
You briefly show your RU-vid workstation. Would you please consider making a video explaining the equipment and programs you use to produce videos for your three channels? Perhaps a summarized step-by-step of your process from planning a video through to posting it, and then how you follow the analytics and your viewers' interaction? As teachers in your videos, you both are articulate and have calm, straightforward personalities. I believe you could greatly help someone new to this medium.
Thank you so much for the comment and the kind words. That is a great idea! We like learning and sharing our experiences with others. There are a ton of tech channels that already cover all of the processes involved with creating a RU-vid channel and producing content (this is how we learned). Not sure if the sewing community as a whole would care to watch content creation videos, but if would be fun for us to make them regardless. If you are contemplating starting a channel of your own we would encourage you to go for it. It is very time consuming and there are a lot of moving parts, but it is super rewarding at the same time. If you have specific questions in your journey feel free to email us at nevertoomanyinfo@gmail.com and we will try to help you out :) Thanks for watching!
❤ Idaho too! I’ve been thinking about which husky tool chest to help with organization, but not sure what size to get has kept me waiting for a decision
Thanks for the questions. We usually have about 50 machine on hand at any one time. Our home not very large. It is a typical small 3 bedroom home in a small Idaho subdivision. Our kids are grown and out of the house so we use our two extra bedrooms as our sewing spaces. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! That is very kind of you :) I actually just kind of made it up as I went along. There is no pattern. Basically, I drew up a rough sketch of the layout, downloaded clipart images of vintage machines, deconstructed each machine into layers and cut the shapes out on our Cricut machine, picked some stained glass looking fabric, sewed the machine bits on top, and basically made a 7 foot table runner out of it. I am very new to sewing but Stacey (my wife) is an awesome and patient teacher. Thanks for asking and thank you for watching!
Thanks for the questions. They are Husky brand tables and toolbox. They were purchased at our local The Home Depot. They come in black and white, with or without drawers, and in a couple different lengths :) Good luck! Thanks for watching!
This was interesting. We have 5 sewing machines not being used; and for years, I have felt guilty that we are so blessed with these machines and don't use them. I just don't know what to sew anymore? I do think the video was too long and drawn out. Many mentions were re-mentioned and it was hard to understand the husband as he mumbled a lot.
Great question. As of yet, we have not sold any machines. We have given a few away, but no plans to sell any. We just enjoy finding them and bringing them back to life :) Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the question. If you are referring to the blue stool in the first room, it is actually a drum throne. I got it online at The Guitar Center. Here is the link: www.guitarcenter.com/ROC-N-SOC/Original-Saddle-Drum-Throne-Blue-1500000149937.gc
Indeed. We have 3 Corvairs between us. That is so cool that you learned to drive in one. We love being a part of the Corvair community. It is ALMOST as awesome as the vintage sewing machine community. So many great people. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for watching and following along with us!
@@NeverTooMany2023 That is awesome! There is another RU-vidr who likes Corvairs, it's Matt's Offroad Recovery. You might enjoy that too. I would love to have another and a whole bunch of vintage sewing machines! So cool!
How do you keep special feet,notions and add ons that are machine specific together? I have an Elna Supermatic,Necchi Bu Pfaff 130, 1952 White and a 221 from the 30s . Oh and a Rocketeer that was my mom’s.
Great question. If we have a machine that has its own specific doo-dads we try to keep them with that machine (given that it has its own storage). If the doo-dads are in a separate box (like many of our vintage machines), then we keep them all together in the doo-dad drawer. We sometimes keep a note in side of the box(s) denoting which machine they are for. We just separate all bobbins by type and keep them all together. Thanks for watching!
@@NeverTooMany2023 That’s what I call them too. Doo dads. Lol I am working on the Elna at present and I wish I had someone more mechanically skilled than I am. I love watching your giddiness and enthusiasm for vintage machines.
@@laurademarrais3248 Lol. I thought that "doo-dads" was the technical term for them :) It is easy to be enthusiastic about this awesome hobby. So much history, so much incredible engineering, SO MANY DOO-DADS!

Thanks for the question. Stacey has a sewing channel as well and I have a second channel where I work in the garage on my classic cars and do tool/product reviews. Please see the description on this video for the links to them. Thanks for watching!
