When I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, I was told to do the stretching exercises, have good shoes with good support, buy some inserts, and never go without my shoes--even to go to the bathroom at night which is about 15 steps. I was faithful in wearing my shoes for over a year and I generally don't have any problems with it now. If I feel it coming on, I start the stretching exercises and it goes away. When I am sitting in my chair at night watching tv if I will just stretch my heels down with toes coming up and I can feel the tension and it helps a lot. Some times before getting out of bed in the morning, I will stretch my heels. I don't seem to have problems while I am sewing so can't help you there. Maybe like others have suggested try a knee pedal.
