    You should be real careful with that dust....you don't want to be inhaling it! It can really mess up your lungs and your machines too! (ask me how I know that... ) Make sure you clean & oil all the machines you can that are exposed to that dust. It's very fine, but it's also abrasive.

    Due to construction and a worker who wasn't compliant, I had concrete dust all over my sewing room and in all my machines. I had to buy a shop vac with miniature attachments to vacuum all the dust out, and I had to take every machine apart and carefully swab it, change the oil, change the grease. It took many, many, many hours to clean up that mess! I advise you to have your machines checked before you use them; using them with drywall dust in them could ruin them.

    Bummer about all the dust. Just think of your great space with all the natural light!
