    But I see no reason why you can't (or shouldn't) do that -- in your own house. We don't use our living room anymore either and I tease DH that if I could afford an long-arm, it would go in there. But I would probably put it in my family room and move the sofa back into the living room.

    Enjoy all your space to enlarge your sewing space. I've taken over 2 bedrooms (so far).
    I told my DH that I was going to get rid of the sofa and his recliner and put a long arm in the great room. LOL

    I say do it. In the bedroom all you do is sleep. Every quilter needs the largest room available.

    It's fine to do what you plan. The good thing about using the master bedroom that way is that you don't have to spend any money on alterations to the house, and, when you go to sell the house, it still has 5 bedrooms!

    I agree with the ones that have given you encouragement. Isn't it nice that you have that option. Go for it.
