Interesting thread! Seems to me I just have to live with this as I need to hunch over to see what is going on with the machine. I've also tried a mesh lumbar support device that I bought at Dollar Tree. Absolutely love it. I have one in my sewing chair and another that I use on the sofa when I'm hand quilting. Lots better than a pillow and for only one dollar!! Some people use these in their computer chairs and they would be great in the car if you are on a long trip. I haven't seen these in any other of the dollar-type stores.
