When I was younger, I never really thought about ergonomics, but I'm finding that it plays a huge role for me in quilting, especially FMQ. When a sewing machine sits on a table, the bed of the machine is several inches higher. Just like a keyboard for a computer, it is much better to have it lower than table height. So to remedy this I bought a very cool new chair at Sew Creative! ( Sew Creative is a great quilt/fabric/sewing machine store in Fairport, NY - Best stock of modern quilt fabrics in the area) It's a Koala sewing chair, the only chair I could find that would adjust at a high enough height for me.
This chair is great, especially since I'm using it at a 3 day sewing retreat!
