For some reason my little 12 x 12 sewing room is usually the coldest room in the house. Last week I had to set my machine up out on the 3 season room just to be comfortable enough to FMQ.

I find that that really hot summer days, when it's too hot and humid outside, are perfect for spending in the basement sewing.

Without A/C yes, with A/C never!

I can piece when its hot but can't quilt or do much ironing. If I do I have to turn on the AC

I have large windows on the east and south side of my house, and the sun beats in there every morning. Now the trees I have planted there work very well at keeping out the heat, but before they grew big enough, I had "solar curtains" on those windows. I got them from Starcrest of California more than 20 years ago. They look like aluminum foil, but are plastic. They let light through and you can see out a little, but not much. (I don't know if you can buy them anymore. You'd have to call the company.) I put the shiny side toward the sun and it was amazing how cool that room was on a hot summer day.
Now we have geothermal heat which gives us free AC. We keep the house at 76 in the summer, so here in Wisconsin, the AC doesn't run much.

I do fine winter or summer because we have a/c and use our ceiling fans in every room run constantly. However, last year I started having hot flashes and just could not do the handwork on my son's quilt with the high loft batting in it. So I can see where there may be times when it is too hot to quilt with a big hot quilt on your lap. But like others have said there's always hand work. I'm one who does not like to run the iron though when it's too hot so if I can't work on things that require ironing early when it's cool, I work on other things that don't heat up my little house.

If you don't have central AC why not use a window unit or the new portable ac stand alone ones? You can buy them for 110 outlets now.

Never too hot for me, but I do not do hand work at all. I have a fan on my sewing table and that helps - we have no A/C.

It is never "too" anything to stop me from quilting
