I would like the idea of being able to stand part of the time-I cannot at present. However, I am careful to move around a lot. My sewing room is in the basement and we have a bathroom down here. However, I always go up and down the stairs when I need the facilities. My coffee pot is upstairs in the kitchen-so, more trips up and down. When my husband built my sewing center I wanted a pressing station that I could pull out. I thought it was a great idea! However, I never use it. I get up and go over to the ironing board to press. The time savings are not worth the problems of sitting too long at a time. I probably go up and down the stairs 30 or so times a day to say nothing of other stand and walk activities. So, fellow quilters, keep moving.

I have an adjustable-height table from Ikea. I got it so I could raise it for cutting, but sometimes I sew standing. It took a bit to get used to operating the foot pedal while standing, (I end up sort of standing on one foot), but I like having the option of changing positions easily.
