you need a good cutting and planning table. Take two plastic drawer units, decide if you want one three drawers high or four drawers high for back stress comfort, place a large piece of study wood across the top. Measuring a little wider than the top of the units and a little longer than the units. This way you can put all your cutting, and quilting tools in the drawers and your cutting mat on top. All that for the price of the plastic units and a piece of wood. I bought a hobby table cover that you can use for measuring and ironing to cover the top and it helps so much not having to set up an ironing board all the time. Your iron can rest on the table along with spray starch, since the table will be sturdy. Walmart has the units for sure and HomeDepot, Lowes will cut you a piece of wood, making sure that the ironing pad you buy is the same size. . You will also need a set of shelving to hold your fabric stash, with room on top to stack your batting. You can use an old desk with chair for your sewing machine, which also has drawers on the side to store your machine needles, bobbins, scissors, thread. and other necessary sewing needs. I got a three shelf put together bookcase unit to store quilting books and patterns. I also got a pole lamp to go over the corner of the table for when I need extra light. I have an over the door hanger for the closet door to hang my quilt totes and bags. I hang my unquilted tops on clothes hangers in the closet and have open bins beneath for uncompleted projects tied up in grocery bags. These have served me very well for a number of different sewing rooms and for 20 years. Hope these tips help.
