Quoting yourself, Tropit .... "... sitting for hours, hunched over a sewing machine and shoving a large quilt ..."
You've already identified your problems ... now to face them ...
* don't sit for hours ... get up and move around ... I usually manage that by getting up to press or cut or a bathroom break or to get a drink, etc. Best to set an alarm ... and obey it!
* hunched over, says the ergonomics are not right causing you to sit too high/low and/or the table/machine are too high/low and/or the machine is too far away from the table edge. Ergonomics is about positioning your body to the right position, and adjusting the environment to you!
So what to do? As already mentioned by someone, switch chairs and have adjustability. Likewise, adjust the table/machine height from the floor. Also the setback of the machine can make a huge difference, good and bad! All three, can make huge differences as to how our bodies cope.
Good Luck!
