I find that I hurt my back if I am not wearing a good supportive shoes or sneakers and if my table is too low. I use a craft table at home which is high enough and I use those lifts for the bed that you can get at Walmart, Target, K-Mart, etc, probably Bed, Bath and Beyond, when my table is not available. I also use the "Body-Rite, Posture Pleaser" which is a counterweight that helps me remember not to stoop over whatever I am doing. We need to take care of our backs to make quilting a fun endeaver
