We all have different needs, old injuries, body types, etc. I have a friend who stands while sewing. I think she has some kind of setup where her foot pedal is somewhere other than the floor, but I can't remember what she's done with it. I know that I could never stand for long periods of time because I have plantar fasciitis and my feet can't handle it - I HAVE to sit and rest.

I think what works for one person won't work for another, and the easiest way to find out what works best for you is to simply try it. Onebyone has a great suggestion - check with a physical therapist.
