Chair for machine sewing
 
Does anyone highly recommended a particular chair for machine sewing/piecing/free motion quilting. I am currently using a computer desk chair with arms and do not feel my back is supported well.

Thanks,,,,,,,,,,robin

I just use a bar stool without a back but with a chair pad on it. I don't sit for hours at it...so I don't have any problems with it.

How about http://www.staples.com/Alera-Interva...duct_ALEIN4616

The type of chair that has lower back support.

Good luck

I recommend going and sitting in several. I purchased mine from Office Depot. It is armless and the seat and back articulate independently. It sure helps when quilting a big quilt.

I have an adjustable Koala chair. But I've seen some nice chairs at Office Depot that aren't as expensive.

I use a standard office chair, I found one where the arms flip up and get out of the way. It doubles as my computer chair so I need the arms. I added a memory foam cushion to make it a little more comfy.

About 2 years ago I ordered a backless doctor's stool. I love it. It has a very thick cushioned seat which has shown no wear at all. And I can sit for hours and it is still comfortable. It also has five legs on wheels which gives it a lot of stability. And it has a pneumatic height adjustment for the seat.

I found mine at Ikea. You just have to have one that gives good back support and the height that you need to be at the proper level to your DSM. You just have to go out and test them because we are ALL different shapes with different needs. Good Luck

I have a couple task chairs. One with arms one without arms. The one with arms I can drop. I have an old pillow that I smack around to fit how I feel at the time. They both adjust up and down.

I use a saddle chair for all my sewing. I find it keeps my back in a good position all the time and I find it very comfortable.
