I am thinking of purchasing the sit upon since I spend so many hours in front of the machine. Anyone have it? Bought it? Reactions? Opinions? Thanks!

I have one. Unfortunately, it is now in a corner, gathering dust. When I first sat on one at the LQS, I thought it was very comfie and I hoped that it would help with the backache that I get after being at my machine for too long. I don't think I noticed any difference and after I moved it once, I didn't bother to put it back on my chair): Seemed like such a good idea at the time. Maybe it will work for you, though.

I tried one at my LQS. I felt it was very wobbly, which, I was told, was to build up "core"muscles, thus avoiding the aching backs we get from sitting at the machine so long. I did not buy one. Linda

I think it's just another fad, might help some people, especially if they believe in it enough. Having a good chair with back support and putting your sewing machine at the proper height, as well as getting up frequently and stretching would probably help more, and there's no price tag attached.

I bought something similiar at either Walmart or Meijer for about $15. It is in the exercise equipment section. Like someone else posted, it is a core building tool. I used it when I first got it and boy did it really make my lats and abdomen ache after awhile but then again, it was doing its job! I must have taken it off my chair for some reason and now I have no idea where it is! It definately made me sit up straighter and I always felt my caboose was tilting off the edge. (Which is probably the purpose of it!)

Here is a link to one similiar to the one I purchased http://www.walmart.com/ip/Altus-Core...-Disc/10270007
