Double the number of electrical outlets you are currently planning. It is so much cheaper to do it now than to add them later. I learned the hard way…

[@paulatharp5457]

I agree! Better to have too many, than not enough outlets. You may want to rearrange your work spaces in the future and will want more outlets!!

[@StitchObsessed]

I will discuss with my contractor (aka my dad 🤭) thank you for the advice!

[@catheyr1566]

@@StitchObsessed Your contractor seems agreeable! I’m enjoying watching you two work together to build your future.

[@StitchObsessed]

@@catheyr1566 yep, he’s pretty great! 🤓 thank you so much for watching!

[@diannplatt-roberts8692]

I agree with more outlets but also put them in at least some higher on wall. Saves your back in the long end.

[@veraweeks8534]

It’s so awesome to have you and your Dad doing the work together. What awesome memories are being made!

[@StitchObsessed]

Oh yes, wonderful memories 🥰

[@roseanderson4928]

Raising the ceiling is genius! It like expanding your space 20% or 30%? Wow! I’m so in awe to see you and your dad working together!

[@StitchObsessed]

I know right? It makes the space so much more open 🥰

[@pamdecavit8360]

You will be very happy if you put two outlets on each end and 4 on each of the long walls. The future you will be so thankful.

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Absolutely!!

[@paulatharp5457]

I totally agree!

[@cathywestholt5324]

It is batting. It's building batting. Batting makes your quilt warm, and insulation/building batting keeps the building warm. 😁

[@StitchObsessed]

Hehe exactly!!!🤭

[@susyk6839]

My dad used to whistle when he was happy while he worked. It is nice hearing your dad. It is wonderful he likes to help you. Wonderful memories!

[@maryboyer9659]

Raising your lofts can get you some space to add a ceiling fan. Even if you have air conditioning, a ceiling fan can keep the air moving/

[@StitchObsessed]

Very true!

[@linaa7052]

My Dad passed away unexpectedly 2 years ago at 68. This will be great memories. And btw I am entirely jealous of the studio. But I have one kid left, so I was able to take over a room for my sewing space from my others leaving 😊. I love it.

[@StitchObsessed]

I’m so sorry about your dad 💖💖💖

[@talayawustman8832]

I agree you'll need more outlets. Also you're father watched you as a proud dad. Enjoy this time. It's precious.

[@StitchObsessed]

Thank you! 🙏🏻💖

[@dianemiller9050]

My advice would be to have lots of lights so you don’t have shadows in your work areas. I am so happy for you.

[@StitchObsessed]

That’s the plan! I’m going to have four huge lights on the ceiling which will help a lot 🥰 thank you, Diane!!!💖💖

[@lydiayates]

What a beautiful project to be doing with your Dad. ❤

[@maureenjobb8882]

You are so blessed with a nice Dad, I so miss mine. Having a dad who helps you build your dreams! Lucky you.

[@StitchObsessed]

I certainly am blessed 💖

[@user-xg4pd4eg4d]

It looks really good. Another thing you might think about is a dehumidifier to keep your fabric safe.

[@StitchObsessed]

I’m actually looking to get a mini split that can also dehumidify the space! 👏🏻 pretty cool!

[@kaythompson8721]

Luxury Plank Flooring is the way to go if you're worried about water/dampness. And...like others mentioned...add more outlets than you THINK you need! Better to have too many than to wish you'd put in a few more.

[@StitchObsessed]

I’m actually going to go look at VLPF today! 🤓 thank you for the advice!

[@jillsfindings339]

God bless your Daddy❤❤ great job, beautiful! You are so fortunate!

[@StitchObsessed]

Thank you! Yes, I am truly blessed 👏🏻💖

[@1955dmb]

I'm loving watching your studio develop! My husband is a woodworker and I agree that there are similarities between quilting and woodworking. Measure twice, cut once!😅

[@StitchObsessed]

Haha! Yes! Measure twice, cut once! 😂👏🏻

[@user-uc5zb5ts3s]

More outlets for sure. You can never have to many. Hey Dad......nice job!

[@stevenlisa2469]

Your dad is quite the character! It’s so fun to watch you two. It’s been hotter than Satan’s armpit so stay hydrated while you’re working. ❤ from Kansas

[@StitchObsessed]

He’s definitely a goober! 😂 and yes! Drinking lots of water!!! 🥵

[@user-kh9ct9kq2y]

You may want a ceiling fan and put some nice 2” faux wood blinds on your windows.

[@StitchObsessed]

I thought about a ceiling fan, but with the lights I’m planning to use, if just doesn’t make sense lol 🤓

[@myrnaroy]

Now is the time to put in more outlets than you think you'll need (TV, fan, sewing lamps, mini fridge, etc.). If you have a long arm frame think about an outlet in the floor under the frame.

[@StitchObsessed]

Thank you for the advice! 💖

[@jillthomas366]

I’m so glad you are letting us hang out with you outside of your quilting life and we get to watch you renovating your new, exciting space. Your dad’s occasional commentary is awesome, don’t edit it out. 🥰

[@StitchObsessed]

Thank you, Jill!!! Yeah I gotta keep his goober comments in the videos 😂💖💖

[@StitchObsessed]

I love watching you and your dad working together on your studio. Put me back to the days I used to work with my dad in the garage on his cars and in the yard. This is a special time for you and I am so happy you are seeing your dreams become a reality! Hugs!

[@StitchObsessed]

Aww thank you so much, Debbie 💖💖 I love hearing others have special memories of their dads too 💖💖💖

[@laurag8641]

So much fun doing this project, especially with your Dad! look forward to the next one!

I love seeing this process, so please keep showing it to us. It's really cool that you are doing this with your family - reminds me of my family. Really looking forward to seeing more.

[@StitchObsessed]

Thank you so much for watching, Michelle! 💖

[@doriswhitegiver9334]

Its looking great! So nice that you have your dad to work alongside and help you. Yes a mini split is definitely the way to ❤

[@StitchObsessed]

So excited!!!👏🏻💖

[@lindashelton3117]

Center fan would work good too. Put in plenty of plug-ins too. Have fun! Anxious to see completed project!!

[@StitchObsessed]

Thanks for the tip!💖👏🏻

[@charileekennedy9292]

Oh my gosh....I want a Quilting shed!!! So awesome

[@elizabethhernandez40]

29:25 Great work! You and your dad work great together. One suggestion (among the choir of advice). Consider an attic vent fan to keep the air moving. Attic vent fans are inexpensive and while the walls are open easy peezy to place an outlet in the attic space. That will help with the effectiveness of the conditioning solution you install in the main space. Looking forward to seeing your final reveal!

[@StitchObsessed]

Oh I hadn’t thought of a fan in the attic area, I’ll bring it up to my contractor (aka my dad 🤭) thank you for the advice, Elizabeth!!! 💖

[@glendahyde871]

You & your family are creating some awesome memories. Brings back a lot of forgotten memories for me. I miss being able to do things like i use to. You are doing an awesome job & looking forward to the next video. Happy building

[@person2463]

The rafters of the loft would be a great place to hang quilts. Could also change ladder to hang quilts from.. you should proudly display your talent and art.

Yay! Thank you, Mona!!!💖🤗

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

I recommend looking into a Splitter...for Heating & Cooling... 1 should work well enough for your quiltng shed. You don't need to share a window for A.C. They are very energy efficient. You probably will need a cement pad for the sitting large AC unit. & the Splitter has a small tube for draining the condensation to go outside. Talk with your current Heating & cooling service!!!

[@StitchObsessed]

Yep! We’re planning to use a mini split system 👏🏻💖

[@LakesideQuiltmakingArts]

65 degrees???!! I’m so pumped about your project! Bravo to your family for all the support!

[@StitchObsessed]

Yeah! 65 degrees! It was definitely a fluke day 😂 it was back up to 94 today! 🥵

Yes! I’ve learned SO much from my dad. How does he know how to do all this stuff?! Haha it always amazes me!

[@TGBTGAlways]

It’s looking great Miriam! On the outside of the shed are you going to paint some quilt blocks on the outside? I think that would look so pretty 😍💞💯 Enjoy the time spent with your dad bc years up the road you will have such good memories together. Take some pictures of you guys working together and you could hang a collage of photos in a nice frame to show the progress and it will be a little history for your sewing studio 🥰😉💞 just an idea 😊

[@StitchObsessed]

Oh I love that idea, Deborah!!! Thank you 💖💖💖 I was actually thinking of maybe making some small barn quilts and hanging them in the frames of the front door. Could be cute! 😍

[@StitchObsessed]

Thank you so much!!💖💖

[@maryboyer9659]

Thank you so much for sharing your progress, Miriam! It looks great, and you are making so much progress. I noticed that it doesn’t look like you put any outlets on the window wall. Before you get the walls up, I would suggest adding outlets under each window. If you put a chair by the window to have a quiet reading space, you might need a task light and an outlet would be handy. When we redid our basement for my sewing space, I put one outlet on the short walls and two on the long walls. Your long walls are quite a bit longer than mine, so I would suggest planning out where you might be putting your shelving units, where you are going to be using your iron, where you will need task lights, where you might need a space heater to take the chill off in the winter and a fan in the summer to move the air, etc. Then add more outlets to accommodate those items. It is better to have more outlets than to run extension cords and power strips. One can never have too many outlets! I can’t wait to watch your progress.

[@StitchObsessed]

Thank you for the advice, Mary! I’ll try to figure out and draw up a layout plan 💖

[@mio.giardino]

Amazing progress! One teeny tiny point…eye protection…you need to be wearing something to protect your eyes. ❤

[@StitchObsessed]

Oh yeah, you’re probably right 🫣 thank you for the reminder!

[@linetteevans8337]

And some work gloves too!

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

You can get LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) in a wood grain look. It snaps together & cuts easily. It is durable and waterproof. I have replacced floors in bathrooms and even RVs with it. Thanks for sharing

[@chrisbolin5867]

I love watching your new studio come to life!🎉 I love your ship lap ideas. We recently remodeled our house. Its over 100 years old. We used a super great product on our walls and ceilings. It's a plywood bead board. It's not a flimsy paneling type of bead board...it's literally like 1/2"-5/8" thick. We were able to put it directly over the insulation. We used it vertically on the walls and then the opposite direction on the ceiling. I sanded all of it with an electric sander and primed it and then painted it. I wish I could show you pictures. It's beautiful. Mainly though, it is sturdy and functional. In Illinois the building code requires drywall behind paneling fir fire retardant purposes. So we did not do that bc the plywood breadboard was stiff enough to support light fixtures etc. We loved working with it. We got it at Home Depot. Our quilting skills were great for measuring and making templates. Is it Wil Maring singing Sundown? We've seen her and enjoyed her music forever...way back when she was part if Shady Mix.❤

[@StitchObsessed]

That is awesome! I would love to remodel an old farmhouse…someday! 💖 and the band that sings “Wait Up Sundown” is Arch Tremors! 🤗 I thought it was such a fun song!

[@lindaprice9242]

This is so interesting I just love to watching it. I take it your dad and has a very good sense of humor LOL so nice to see you two working together. I'm happy that I get to watch you put your sewing studio together. Love your idea of the shiplap it's going to be awesome. The way you described it is going to be awesome. Just make sure before you get all the walls up that you have enough plug-ins especially since you have sewing machines and lamps irons maybe one day a longarm who knows now would be the time to think about all that. See you on your next video I'll be waiting

[@StitchObsessed]

Thank you so much, Linda!!!💖💖💖

[@SherryBragg]

Buy vinyl plank. It's worth it. We had water resistant laminate and a damp towel laying on it caused it to bubble and peel.

[@StitchObsessed]

vinyl plank is the way to go for flooring. Get low VOC to avoid fumes. it's very affordable. it's easy clean and water resistant and scratch resistant. it looks like hardwood. it's perfect for a quilt studio. I'm happy with my choice.

[@StitchObsessed]

Thank you for the flooring advice! 💖

[@patriciahemmy3630]

I say low VOC because of the fur babies and your health as well. Menards doesn't carry low VOC. Check flooring stores. My 16 x 20 room cost less than $600.​@@StitchObsessed

[@PVineyard]

I am so excited about this series of videos. I have been trying to come up with something that would work for my needs and I think I’ve just found it by watching your channel. This is such a great alternative when your house doesn’t have the space for a sewing studio. I am disabled and in a wheelchair (and I have to lay down very often), this would allow me to recline my electric wheelchair with plenty of room to do so. Of course, I would have to enlist the “help” of my family with the construction. I have been walking in my calling as a worship pastor for most of my adult life but, that changed after a complete abdominal wall hernia formed. Since then, I have felt a loss of purpose. Guess what, Heavenly Father has given me a new purpose through your channel and others like yours. I am so thankful for this. I really enjoy the generosity associated with (and my newfound love of) quilting. He is truly always guiding His children. One question, did you have a concrete pad poured under your building? If not, how did you do the foundation? I want you to know that God uses you to bless many. May God bless you and your household tenfold. 😊

[@user-kh9ct9kq2y]

Enjoy this time! I loved helping my dad and when he whistled while he worked I loved it. I miss my dad so much. He’s in Heaven. You need to hang a bar quilt out of wood outside your quilt studio!!

[@StitchObsessed]

Ooo yes! I definitely want to hang a barn quilt 🥰 and dads are so special 💖 sounds like you and me were blessed with great dads!

[@NatalieMoore-cf4zt]

I really enjoyed watching you and your family working together (even though we couldnt see your mom and sister). That is such a beautiful thing to see a family working together. Wonderful memories with you and your dad.

[@StitchObsessed]

Thank you so much, Natalie 💖🤗

[@TheMidwestJess]

This was so sweet to watch. My dad is also really handy and has worked in construction, although his experience has taken a toll on his body, so his ability to help with the physical labor part is pretty much gone. But watching this just made me so grateful that I still have him around, because I could totally imagine him and I tackling a project like this together if he didn’t live in another state. He and I have always bonded over our ability to make things. My mom is a techie who doesn’t get it, but he and I love working with our hands. I’m really excited to see the next video whenever you post one! You’re getting to do what I’ve always wanted to, so I’m living vicariously through you right now. Happy you’re able to build a space you’ve always wanted!

[@StitchObsessed]

Aww thanks so much, Jess! And me and my dad are the same way. Whenever he was building or working on something, I wanted to be right there watching and learning! 💖 very special memories I’ll cherish. Thanks for watching!!!

Thank you for sharing your building journey! I also have memories of helping my dad around the house doing renovations... my dad didn't whistle, but I learned so much from him! I do DIY's around the house because of what he taught me years ago. Treasure these memories and keep learning! Love your energy and effort! I started watching your channel to learn about your way of glue basting just a couple months ago, and enjoying every video 😊 God bless you ❤

Thank you so much, Anna! Yes, I’m definitely trying to absorb everything he’s teaching me. How do dads know all this stuff?!

i loved every moment of this video. it made me tear up watching you and your Dad some of my fondest moments are like my dad teaching me to change the axles on my bike if only i’d had the technology to record. here i am 75 years old remember my moments with his guiding hand with all kind of useful things i’ve used all my life ❤

Glad you’re letting us hang out with you. I like watching you work on your new place. The way you describe it. It’s gonna look so cute on the inside. Pretty cool that now you’re a builder/quilter, lol I think y’all are doing a fantastic job. Can’t wait to see the next video. Stay blessed!!

I love the idea of shiplap walls. I’m putting in bead board.

[@StitchObsessed]

Cute! I was stuck between bead board and the shiplap panels. I love the look of both 🥰👏🏻

Hi from Minnesota. I have cats who are also obsessed with anything fabric or sewing. They’re always in my sewing room with me when I sew. I really love your studio space so far. You and your dad seem to be having fun. Best wishes.💗
