    Unless your LA is table mounted it would be hard to use a chair. You are moving the machine alOng the frame so chair would be in your way. Maybe I am wrong, but wouldn't you have to get up an move the chair very often?

    when i was a frequent visitor on the yahoo group homequiltingsystems, a few of the quilters loved their saddle chairs. personally, i thought about it, but decided against it in favor of being able to move around at will. to be kind to my knees, i just limit my time at the frame with frequent brakes.

    I don't have one but a girl at the hair salon I frequent uses one. You could check your local beauty supply store; if they don't have one they could possibly order one for you. I did a quick search and found them here. Not as pricey as I thought they would be. http://www.sallybeauty.com/on/demand...implesearch=Go

    have you tried an auto shop store? Or woodworkers? Sometimes they have rolling near standing height stools

    I bought this one - http://www.bizchair.com/st205-os.html
    It seems to be good quality. I haven't used it as much as I thought I would. I know some longarmers use theirs all the time.
