Is your chair the right height?
• Can you see the needle easily as it moves up and down?
• Are you able to reach behind the needle?
• Can you rest your arms on the table?
• Do your feet touch the floor?
[Illustration: Using a sewing machine]
If you cannot see the needle or rest your arms on the table, you will
need a taller chair or something to sit on to raise you up a bit. If
your feet do not touch the floor (after you are sitting in the position
to see the needle) and your machine has a foot control you will have to
find a sturdy box. It should be large enough to rest both of your feet,
as well as the foot control from the machine.
