I don't know. I sit straight and keep my balance. It will sure let you know if your posture is not correct. I think that is why I don't hurt or get sore after sitting a long time on it. If I get crooked while sitting, putting more weight on one hip then the other then I start to hurt and my back is out of whack. With the Situpon I sit correctly.

From pins I graduated to to spray basting and now to frame quilting (which does not require basting). Many other quilters have moved from pin basting to glue basting because pins can be so annoying. I ruined an expensive even-feed foot when it got caught on a pin I didn't see while quilting. That experience made me search for better basting options.

I use the Kwik Clip tool and love it. I put all my quilting pins in and then go back and use the Kwik Clip to close them all at once. For 200 pins, I can close them all up in under 10 minutes. Pinning takes a lot less time when I use it. When I first got it, I tried to use it after putting in each pin and I didn't find it very useful. But after trying it this way, I find that it saves my thumb from having all of those impression marks which are painful the next day.

I don't think so. The washer would need to be exactly 1/2" in diameter, with a hole just large enough for a pen or pencil to go through.
My hubby is a machinist, and once I showed him what I wanted, and how I was going to use it, he made a bunch of them for me. I belong to a longarm group and sold a lot of them there.

I purchased a massage stool http://www.massagesupplies.com/product/5920/ and it works great for me. I put in in my car upside down for travel and it doesn't take up much space. While at workshops I can scoot around my workspace, adjust the height based on the height of the worksurface and adjust the height to relieve a constant sitting position.
I can't take credit for this. I met a woman at an annual workshop who was using one. Since I purchased mine, I see there are a few other quilters in the workshop have purchased them.
