Also if you quilt is not moving easily for you, your wrestling with it too much, can cause pain.

Agree with all of the above but I need to add: remember to breathe. I hold my breath when stippling and have had to teach myself to let go and breathe normally. A blue face is so unattractive on a girl!

Oh my goodness! What a great video! Those tables are $35 at Walmart. They're over in the hardware department isle. I appreciate you sharing this, Prism99.

If your chair will not adjust up higher, use a cushion, a pillow, a piece of foam, whatever you can find............

I use Arnica homeopathic ointment. It is good for pain.

You've gotten a lot of good advice here!
A simple trick I learned years ago on "Simply Quilts" --- "Yes, No, Maybe So". Every 15-20 minutes, stop sewing for a minute--Nod your head about 6 times, as if you were saying "yes"; move your head from side to side about 6 times, as if you were saying "no"; shrug your shoulders about 6 times, as if you were saying "maybe so". It helps relieve neck and shoulder fatigue. |
The thing that helped me was learning to sit in front of the needle, not centered in front of the machine. Also my ironing board is across the room so I have to get up and move around.
