LongArm Quilters
#5
I had a special table made so there is no strain what so ever on my arms or back. It is the right height for me alone to lift my hands just bennding at the elbow and no more. Such a difference from the normal 'bought' solutions. It's now pretty much like walking around with a couple of fingers on the Q M ..:) So find a husband, brother or cousin who likes a project.........

When I bought my LA I had the hydraulic lift put on it so that I can raise or lower my whole table plus I bought the special chair for it. However when I am doing a pantograph I am always standing because I move so quickly. My chair would be fine if I had hardwood floors in my quilting room but it is carpeted so I don't use the chair then. If I am doing very slow custom quilting that takes alot of time and not alot of movement I use my chair. My chair doesn't get used alot so I would say that I am standing probably 90% of the time that I am quilting.
Good question,

I have the hydraulics on mine too so we could sit and do the longarming. But I stand all the time because I move around so much while longarming. Plus when the computer is doing the work I don't stand right there all the time - I go quilt or do paper work and designing.
I also have a carpet/mat to help with the leg strain.
