Good morning all... I just read the topic about tilting one's sewing machine to relieve stress on the neck and back and that can be a good thing to do... What is interesting is that the speaker at our guild meeting last night was a Physical Therapist who spoke about the three main areas on our bodies that become tight/weak when we sew: the neck, the back and shoulders, and the thumb and wrist. It was excellent and we left with great tips for relieving the stress and pain. He also spoke to the importance of using a good chair and taught us what to look for in a chair.
sooo, if you know a good PT, you might want to think about asking them to give a program.
And actually we had two programs... the other was a sweet quilter who has made 55 Quilts of Valor in the last three years... another EXCELLENT program.... so very inspiring...
