Your husband made an excellent point about it being worth while to have good equipment, since this isn't a temporary thing for you. I look forward to seeing the new look. Congratulations on moving some stash out anyway, and sewing every day.Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348317753715681760.post-62389063010406732942018-10-02T11:14:44.415-05:002018-10-02T11:14:44.415-05:00My shoulder has been hurting this week too, but no...My shoulder has been hurting this week too, but not as badly as yours. I blame the chair I use at my computer desk. I got a new chair, but on this one, the arm rests aren't adjustable. I am trying to avoid using the arm rests to see if that makes things better.<br />So sorry your shoulders are hurting, but glad you are doing something about it and getting a table that is more ergonomic. I hope it is adjustable so you can position it exactly how you need it.Shelina (formerly known as Shasta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03290945204269323129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348317753715681760.post-33465462528141524672018-09-30T20:55:23.896-05:002018-09-30T20:55:23.896-05:00Having a table that your sewing machine sits down ...Having a table that your sewing machine sits down into will make a huge difference for you--so much easier to work on a level surface, and much more comfortable too!

I have a pillow on my chair which helps a little but it is definitely not ergonomically correct.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13094197100029242896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348317753715681760.post-20068698630920625242018-09-30T11:58:01.974-05:002018-09-30T11:58:01.974-05:00I went through the same thing with my shoulder. Ha...I went through the same thing with my shoulder. Had some uninterrupted sewing days and caused myself a lot of pain. Bought a dedicated sewing table which worked great, but didn't fit in my studio. However, we used the height of the table to calculate how high to set my current surface and it's been so much better ever since! I hope you have the same success story :)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348317753715681760.post-81573843605829350122018-09-30T10:20:49.717-05:002018-09-30T10:20:49.717-05:0018 years is a bit more than temporary.

I am on the tall side but that didn’t help all that much when I was using an office desk. It’s wonderful to have the machine bed level with the desk.

It makes my shoulders hurt just to think of it. My first thought was that you could rebuild the slide out tray so it wasn't a slider and cut out the top of the desk to mount your machine inside it, because it looks like it's just about the right height. But I think you'll be happier with a cabinet built for sewing.Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759049156534654631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348317753715681760.post-25519456033757539432018-09-30T10:01:23.615-05:002018-09-30T10:01:23.615-05:00What if you wedged a couple of pieces of wood, may...What if you wedged a couple of pieces of wood, maybe a 1 by 2, under that slide out part.
