Or at least I did. Lately I moved it beside my sewing machine and lowered it so I can use it while I sit. But mainly I needed it beside my sewing table to keep the quilts from hanging down and pulling on the needle. Maybe I'll get my new sewing table built this weekend and solve all my problems.MartiDIYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746410631951325989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580018827658637851.post-44800541580008483792015-01-24T16:51:32.029-05:002015-01-24T16:51:32.029-05:00I have a thermal cover on my cutting table that al...I have a thermal cover on my cutting table that also allows me to use it for pressing. Like you, I sew a bit, press a bit, cut a bit and then repeat. So I'm up and around the studio a lot during the time I'm sewing.

That's a good thing! I do a lot of sitting in the evenings which is when I knit. I've recently developed night-owl tendencies that I need to break.

The sitting has always concerned me, so... Good post. The sitting has always concerned me, so I never practiced the efficiency of the ironing board beside the sewing machine. In this house, my other option is ironing in the laundry room, for goodness sakes. That room is on the other side of the house! I've stopped telling people that I don't watch TV. The time I spend at the computer probably equals what might have been TV time. And now that books are so accessible on the reader... oh my. It must be a conspiracy to keep me sitting down! :-)Lindahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450792092084530798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580018827658637851.post-81458224936432646832015-01-23T20:46:05.416-05:002015-01-23T20:46:05.416-05:00I saw that article, but I didn't read it.

I once had an isurance agent who had the assistant (you know the person who actually does all the work) who stood at her desk. She had diabetes and was telling me that since changing to standing, her blood sugar plummented. She also said her boss wasn't thrilled by the idea, and her husband had to make all the "lifts" for her computer, etc. so that she could still function in her job. I think her boss should have welcomed it.JoAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16725295327088235909noreply@blogger.com
