Hi Ladies. Loving your podcast! You were asking about posture at your sewing machine or cutting table. I’m a physio in the UK and an avid dressmaker. What I found made a massive difference when sticking tiles together or cutting out was to get a really high cutting out table. I actually had one made for me but you could put blocks under the feet of your existing table or buy an Ikea table that comes with extendable legs. Much of what we do involves looking down and hunching over and this is often what stiffens up the upper back and neck. So when sewing at your machine try to draw the chair in close to the machine so you are not stretching too far and the back of the chair is supporting you. It’s often tempting to hop up and down between tasks and just perch on the edge of the chair instead of sitting on it properly and pulling it in. If you are doing any hand sewing I’d advise you place a cushion or two on your lap and raise the work up to you – rather than bend forwards to the work you are doing. Hope that makes sense!

Great episode ladies. I have a question for you all.
How is it that you can have a day job and your hobby or craft be the same without experiencing burnout?
I used to do machine embroidery and I turned it into a business and when I stopped doing it as my day job I never went back to embroidery ever again. I was so burnt out on it.
So thankful for you all doing this podcast for me to listen to. I feel like you are cheering me on while I’m sewing and listening to the show.
