Shortness is always a drawback, isn't it? I'm short too and it's all about reaching stuff on my tippy toes! I can't say what my least favorite part is because I haven't finished a quilt yet. I made 2 pot holders and 1 mug rug and the binding on the mug rug was perfect if I do say so myself!
i have the opposite problem thanks to my DH he made my sewing table higher so all i have to do is lean into the machine not bend over

You must be "Fun Sized"...I was picturing someone on tippy toes working on her project and then got down to the pot holder and mug rug part..very short. :-)
