In the sewing studio I have a small window ac. I also use a ceiling fan and a rotating fan. I keep both fans on med or low. Yes, it does blow things a little,but it's betten than trying to deal with the sweat drips. :roll:

My living in the deep south where temperatures get into the high 90's and as high as 115 degrees not counting the heat index during the summer all my ceiling fans run 24/7 all year long and air conditioner is set to 75 during summer months.
We don't have four seasons here like some other places and what little of winter we have which is usually from end of November to end of January I still run the ceiling fans and will not have air conditioner on.
It takes care of itself with ceiling fans in every room of the house during cooler weather and for us that is getting down into the 80's or lower.

Being in CA, we run fans all of the time. I have a ceiling fan in every room of the house. But I only use low and medium speed in my sewing room. Or I also get bits and pieces all over the place.

Not to mention all of the thread trimmings that get blown across the top of the trash can onto the floor.
If you use a fan, is it a ceiling fan or a free-standing fan, and have you came up with any secrets to avoid turbulence at the needle but still get good air movement toward yourself?
