    I have hard wood floors - but I got a play mat at Sam's which is in 8 squares - and I put those around my quilting table (center of my room) and move them around. Really gives some cushion to those old feet and low back when I am standing - my table is also 40" high - which also helps !! No constant bending at the waist to see and work !

    Same here... I love my carpet. I have a Cordless Shark sweeper and vacumn it when I am done for the day... Nice and warm in the winter. I do not mind vacumning it daily.

    I prefer carpet mostly because it's quieter when I sew. I'm about to redo our flooring and I'll be going with a commercial type carpet.

    I had carpet in my sewing room and we removed all carpeting from our house. I have wood laminate in my sewing room and it so much easier to clean up then carpeting. The only problem I have is my foot travels. Plus with the floor I have now I don't have to worry about thread getting wrapped around the wheels and brush of the vaccum.

    I have carpet because it doubles as a guest room. But, we're eventually yanking out ALL of it and replacing it with either wood or laminate. Much easier and safer(no hidden pins etc). And carpet is soooo bad if you suffer from allergies or asthma. No matter how clean of a person you are, have you seen the dirty water come out of a steam cleaner?? YUCK. All I know is I'll never have carpet again! Luckily, I live in CA so I don't have to worry about the floors being too cold etc. But, if I lived elsewhere I'd go with heated tile etc. and still lose the carpet.

    Wood, for the ease of cleaning up, just a quick sweep with the broom or handvac

    I have tile, and would advise against it -- hard on the feet, and the grout lines are always full of thread and small pieces of fabric.
