Wow! You ladies rock! I thought I had some health issues, but you make me realize how minor they are. I have had 3 major back surgeries, but I can kneel, walk, sit & stand without pain. The surgery on my neck left me with permanent nerve damage in my left hand and arm, so my good right hand does double duty. At least it works really well until I overuse it doing PP! I work in a carpeted room but still get back fatigue if I stand or hunch over the sewing machine too long, so I am looking for a secretary's chair to use at the machine so I can swivel to the ironing board. I have adapted to most situations by using several of the gadgets you recommend. Harbor Freight and Northern are great for little things and much less expensive than the fabric shops. The only thing I am having trouble finding is an inexpensive compression glove for hand work. I tried the one from Walmart and it was like not wearing anything, much too thin. Anyway, I think you gals are awesome!
