I see that you posted this a year ago but thank you for the information. I just converted a bedroom to a sewing room and I love it. However, I notice that when I sew now my head gets soooo stuffy, etc. I am going to purchase an air purifier to see if that helps. Many thanks.

THANKS, I never thought about the dust from sewing. I was going to get rid of our air purifiers as we have quit smoking. Guess I will keep it and relocate it to my sewing area.

Another reason to wash our fabrics first, to get all of the chemicals out of them.

I always do! I couldn't believe the particulates that accrued. Don't even look if you use flannel! :D
