Does anyone use a backless chair (saddle chair maybe) for sewing?

So while I'm sewing my left leg is off the kneeling part on the pedal.
Look them up and see if it would help you.

I have an office chair but I bought a Gypsy Sit-Upon from Nancy's Notions that I like very much. I have Hip and back issues. Also when sitting on a wooden chair it really helps. It's similar to the exercise ball but in the form of a chair pad.

Some gals in the office are loving their ball chairs on wheels. They would be too big for my space for sewing. I just use what they call a task chair on wheels. The seat is fairly small and no arms. I like it.

I got one of these off of Craig's List. I have a regular exercise ball too but I am scared dropped sewing needles might puncture it. It looks like it has a back on it but it is not for leaning against. See the video.

I wonder if this would help me. I could lower my chair and then the sit-upon has sloped sides so maybe it wouldn't press on my legs. I'll have to check that out more closely. thanks

My husband plays the drums. So he uses both his hands and his feet constantly when drumming. He has a chair called a "throne." It is goes up and down, it does not have wheels. He finds it comfortable. I use an office chair with no arms. My daughter had it, didn't have room at her new place so left it here. It works great for me. I don't sit all the way back, but that is not on purpose, just realized that I don't - I am 5'9" so need height for my legs. Also, I don't use a foot pedal, I use the button on my machine when using my Janome.

I use a little padded stool I got from IKEA. It doesn't have wheels and it sort of adjusts. I am 5'2". It is more comfortable to me than a chair with arms. I have never used a chair on wheels so don't know if I would like it.

I use to use a wooden stool. If it had been an inch or two shorter it probably would have been perfect. My husband was afraid to cut off the legs. He didn't think it would be even. Being that much too high caused me to have backaches. I finally found a rolling office chair that is perfect. I had tried three before that didn't work. We were able to use those at our business.
I hope you can find a good solution.
