    Sewing Chair

    What do you gals use for a chair at your machine? I can't seem to get comfortable. :-(
    There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right. Think good thoughts for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of LIFE...Getting back up is LIVING... (Borrowed from Airwick156 :-)

    Mine is on casters and fabric covered. The seat has storage in it. I've had it since the 80's!

    I have a Koala, that was a floor model, a bit pricey but the best chair I have had. Has a great back with a nice lumbar shape to it.

    i use a backless stool that i can tilt forward. I'm tempted by the bungee chair from the Container Store.

    I use my computer chair with a lower back pillow and need the arm rests too. My Pfaff is push button so I don't need the foot thing

    I shopped numerous office supply stores and found a comfortable office chair.

    DH put our kitchen chairs together from2 sets. An oak set and a 4 task chairs with casters and base from Walmart. Dirt cheap for $10.00 a chair. Caster bases are not cheap. We've had these for about 8-10 years. He took the legs off the oak and put the caster bases on them. they even have the hydraulic lifter. I have one in the sewing room and use a couple cushions. I also sew standing up once in a while. the chairs probably cost us all of $200.00 when you consider we used two sets. So not bad price and I don't sit for hours on them. being able to adjust the height helps.
