The height is adjustable on it, and I have tried different chairs. The problem is that I can't see what I'm doing well enough if it's too far away. I don't think this stand is quite sturdy enough to rest my arm on.
I'm working on learning to quilt in all directions- I can do left to right (I'm left handed) and towards myself fine, I do ok with away from myself but it is a little difficult for me, and can't quilt from right to left at all. Can't even figure out how you do that! lol
