Sewing.

At the moment I have a large oversize armless diningroom chair, but I am thinking of upgrading to a computer chair. Not sure if the arms would get in the want.

I have used my mom's old Singer bench, but I got rid of it - could barely straighten up if I sewed for more 30 minutes.

I can't sew with being in a chair with wheels. If a chair comes with arms, I take them off. I like this chair so much that I take it with me to all day classes and retreats (just took it Saturday!).

I use an office chair with wheels.

I have an armless computer chair - on wheels. I love to sew with this chair.

I use a computer chair and I love it. Comfort while sitting is the best. The arms help me up and down and also help hold the weight of my quilts while sewing.

Find a chair that fits the way you sit comfortably and you will be a happy and have less pain.

I have a Sewing chair. It has wheels, is adjustable as to height and back and such. I love it. I can roll from my sewing desk to the ironing board to the computer!!!

I don't use a chair. I went to try out a Hermann Miller aerilon [?spelling] chair as this is what Harriet Hargrave uses and loves. Instead I saw what the worker bees at the office furniture places use and got them to lend me one over the weekend. I loved it, took the borrowed one back, and actually bought one.

What did I get? It is called a Swopper. It isn't even a chair but looks like an adjustable mushroom. It is almost like sitting on a good balance ball so that I have to sit correctly. I can change the height to whatever I am working on. No arms to get in the way. I have NEVER regretted the cost as it is so much better than any chair.

You can get them online too.

Ali Kat - can you post a picture?

I use a computer chair with arms.

Office chair with wheels...love it!

I would probably fall off. lol

Its funny that you should post this at this time. My hubby is making me a new sewing room and we were just talking about "the right chair". I'll be very interested to follow this posting.

I have a wheeled, armed office chair with mesh back and seat. I LOVE it, it's very comfortable. The arms are shorter so they don't get in the way. I have to have arms on a chair - I have to grab the arm and hold the chair in place when I sit down.

I have a good quality computer chair with adjustments. Having had back surgery, I don't skimp on chairs any longer.

Office Chair with arms, what I like about it, I can stretch and lend backwards since the chair able to do that and it's comphy...

An office chair with wheels and no arms. It has a back that hits just the right spot for support.

In my new sew room I have 5 chairs one is great for my back one sets better than the others and two I can raise up or down. The 5th one is one I would like to throw away but it was dh mom's :-( I use the one that I need that day. I never know how I am going to feel. :XD:

My husband got a big leather office cahir, you know the kind with arms, reclines, spins, etc?... it's not ver comfortable for sewing.. he's so proud of it, I can't bring myself to tell him I'd rather have somethng smaller, no arms. It's great for when the 2 grand boys are here, they both fit in it & I twirl them around until one almost falls off! It's a kick!

I have a wonderful Hon chair with no arms, however it is on rollers (which I love) and I use a floor mat with it. I can roll from my sewing machine to my serger, turn around and get up, etc. A YouTube info commercial with Alex Anderson found here:

Office chair w/ arms for computer and office chair w/o arms for sewing I need the movements they offer

that's my kind of chair

an office chair with wheels

I have a dining chair that is part of the table and chairs my father in law made (he makes rustic furniture, so does DH) The dining chair swivels so I have that by my sewing machine, and sit in my recliner when I do any pinning

I use an armless office chair. It's not very comfortable but it beats a dining room chair.

I use an armless office chair. Had one with arms but I couldn't get close to the desk/sewing machine. DH now has the armed chair and loves it for watching football.

Armless office chair here too. I had a lovely antique ladderback but it was killing me!

I use an office chair w/ wheels also. It is supposed to have arms but I didn't put them on. I adjusted it to whatever the 'correct' height was supposed to be (arms at right angles, etc) and was in so much pain after an hour or so. So I put it back down to where I was used to and no pain. I'm weird.

have to same old office chair no arms and on wheels don't work to good on carpet though

I have a armless secretary( sometimes/used to be called a steno) chair . It rotates which I love and the height is adjustable. I ti on casters but my room is carpeted so it does not roll that freely.
I had old singer bench... it was hard on my back!!

I use a desk chair with wheels, arms and high back. Very comfortable. I love it.

Same here. The seat is adjustable so I can move up and down a bit if I've sat too long.

I bought an office chair with wheels and took the arms off. The chair back has very good lumbar support. Very comfortable.

I sit on a hard, wooden piano bench with no cushion to sew. I had back surgery and oddly, I find this the most comfortable. I have excellent posture at all times since my injury, slouching equals pain :thumbup:

I use my computer chair. I can roll back and forth to my ironing board which is positioned low enough . Works great.

not sewing related, but my sil has back problems and her dr told her to sit on a hard surface.

I have an office chair with arms, castors and a massage cushion with heat. Works pretty well.

I use an office chair, wheels, but no arms....I have had it for many years, love it, take it to retreats. I have a rug-hooked sheep seat cover that my aunt made that covers the seat, that goes wherever the chair goes too.

I don't sit. I stand. My machine is on a table with bed risers and blocks under that. The table is very tall and I love it.

I use a Office Chair with wheels and no arms that you can adjust the height.

I just use a chair that came with our card tables. I don't usually do a ton of quilting in a long stretch, though.

The shop where I bought my Bernina recently sent out ads for these. The features are great, wonderful warantee, decent price ($199) - but bright RED??? Ugh. If it were a darker red, maybe.
