My take is that ergonimically ....
Arms should be at 90degrees with the sewing machine working area (not your table, unless the machine is sunk into it). Likewise, hips, legs, knees 90 degrees to the foot pedal. If your chair has to be raised up to do so, you may need a platform for your feet and the foot pedal.

That being said ... whatever is comfortable for you to work, then that's what's right for you!
