Does your back ache when you sew quilts?

I've heard that these work well. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...A2IIJSA456GAZX
I read it on a quilters blog and she recommended it. I just ordered it.

My neck was really bothering me for about 3-4 wks. Finally realized it was because I sit under the ceiling fan and it blows directly on the back of my neck. DH switched the direction of the air so it blows upwards and now I don't have the neck pain. I still get air circulating in the room. Hope this helps someone.

Because of the lack of space, my sewing machine is typically set up between the small space between the closet and my bed. So whenever my back starts to ache I just get out of the chair, climb right into bed, and lie down and stretch until the pain stops.

I might try that switching feet thing! I always hunch over everything I sew, cut or iron. Tends to make the middle of my back ache after about half an hour.
Still, I usually just take a break, jump on here, talk to DH and go back at it when my back doesn't protest so much.

I wonder how many of us have back aches due to hunching over our computer keyboards?
