I agree. My chiro told me to vary my activities to keep from having injuries and soreness. When I'm cutting, I try to cut a while and then go do something else. The same with piecing. It takes me longer to complete things this way but I also feel better while doing it. No matter how good your ergonomics are doing one thing for too long a time can have a negative affect on you especially as you age.
