Hi Jody.......In answer to your question, I use a swivel office chair which of course has wheels. It is so helpful in my set up. As I sit facing my machine, all I have to do is make a 1/4 turn to my ironing set up, and make another 1/4 turn and I'm facing my cutting table..I can do all my steps for quilting without ever leaving my chair! Which is good for me as I am somewhat handicapped. I know others wouldn't like it that way... one lady has her ironing board across the room so that she has to get up and walk and stand in order to iron her pieces. That's the way she likes it and so is perfect for her! The office chairs are very sturdy and are very comfortable. You'll be surprised!
