I am about 5 ft.tall & sewing tables & cutting tables are just too high for me. I have found a good solution for me. When the chair is raised so the sewing surface is the right height, my feet won’t reach the floor. I have a pair of platform shoes that are just right for me so I can easily reach the foot pedal & my other foot is comfortably on the floor. I haven’t learned to walk in them, they stay in the sewing room.
one problem I have is the light or should I say lack of light on the bed of the machine. The best help I’ve found is the bendable light with bulbs on both ends that you wrap around your neck.
My spine is almost completely fused, so finding a comfortable position to sew in is tough. At a nearby sewing store I found a chair that tilts forward and a wedge for my sewing machine to tilt it forward. They work very well for me!
had my volume all the way up and could hardly hear this video

What is the retail name of the counter balance belting that helps one stand up straight, and where can I purchase one? Also, what is the retail name of the ergonomic gloves and where can I purchase a pair? Thank you.
It seems to me that if this narrator wanted you to know what “position” she is talking about she would show the hands in that position, not keep the focus on the front of the machine!
