Default FMQ - Shoulders go up & tight

Hey Y'all,

I just spent the entire day FMQ a baby quilt. I noticed that I have to constantly remind myself to relax my shoulders. They just seem to naturally go Up when I'm quilting. Not comfortable! I tried raising my chair up a bit, but I'm 5 ft tall and have to put a box lid underneath the machine cabinet to reach the floor now. hahaha! Any thoughts or advise on how to keep them down & relaxed? I'm pretty experienced doing the FMQ, so it's not a tension over that. I really enjoy the quilting! But oh my aching back...

Thanks!
Donna Mc
