Definitely the importance of getting the chair up, and/or machine down.
Likewise machingers.

Another to have a flat surface out from the machine bed.
Otherwise, the quilt draping down off will create drag, which in effect,
causes you to work harder to keep it in place for you to continue FMQing.
Thus, shoulder problems.

Then consider how you are "looking" at what you are doing.
That's my problem, as I have the above figured out.
I tend to scrunch my head down/forward to see where I am laying those stitches.
In effect, I am scrunching those shoulders .... and yowzers!

Biggest solution for all .... take breaks regularly!!
But gee ... when I get in the zone and am FMQ/zooming along, I love the sense of it ....
............ and do not want to stop!
