I have often thought about setting up my sewing machine to stand while sewing, but haven’t found a table that seemed sturdy enough. I love the idea of having two different sewing stations at different heights. Thanks, Beth!

I was developing pinched nerves in my upper back and shoulders, resulting in numb fingers. The standing position has helped reduce this problem combined with exercise and frequent breaks. Happy sewing!
