What do you sit on?
#113
I use the Gypsy Sit upon, I love it. It took me a couple of days to get used to it, but now I couldn't be without it. It has re-leaved my neck and lower back pain alot. It's like sitting on a ball but small enough to take with you where ever you go. A good investment.

I have an excellent older padded office chair. It has a seperate padded back that moves with me when I go forward or back with a strong support bar, is on wheels, and adjusts the height and has no arms. IMO many office chairs do not support the back unless you go high-priced. Many companies are down-sizing and on local craigs list we found excellent stuff for our business at bargain prices. Caution- check your posture when sewing-I have to make sure I don't hunch over my machine. I use 2 rubber door stoppers to raise up back part of my machine so it's angled and I avoid bending to see.

I WILL ASK MY DH TO MAKE ME A PLATFORM WHEN WE SET UP MY NEW SEWING ROOM. THIS IS THE THIRD SUMMER HE HAS BEEN BUILDING OUR NEW RETIREMENT HOME. MEANWHILE, I USE AN OLD ICECREAM PARLOR CHAIR. ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT!
