I'm working on my second quilt, have the top done, and spent several hours yesterday marking it with my stencil & ruler & sewline pencil... and today I'm a bit sore from how I was sitting, hunched over. What I would like to know is where do you do your marking, how high is your table (if you use one) or workspace, what works for you, what doesn't?

Depends on the pattern I'm marking. If it's an all-over pattern I generally do it on my cutting table. Otherwise I mark as I go, just put a hard surface underneath my sandwich - either in/out of the hoop. But that's handquilting. Not sure how you'd mark in sections for machine quilting. Just take breaks and stretch as others have suggested.
