Ergonomic Footrest
|
For many years I have recommended that Quilters sew with their body in Ergonomic neutral position. For most quilters this involves raising your chair to put your upper body neutral with the sewing machine bed. But it leaves the problem of dangling legs and chasing the machine pedal across the floor.
Problem solved: Raise the floor, by using the right height foot rest. I gave up searching for something commercially available and made the right product for all who sew. You can purchase the finished product in five heights: 2", 2 1/2", 3", 3 1/2", or 4" (contact me if you find you need a special order). Ergonomic Footrest$115.00 USD |
My Ergonomic foot rest has padded feet that won't slip on hardwood, vinyl, or carpet. The padding won't mar flooring. The wood laminate board is wrapped with special super grip material to keep your pedal from moving. The hardware is rated for 500 lbs, however the board is not designed to use as a step stool.

Ergonomic Footrest Finishing KitOr if you are a do-it-yourselfer, buy the finishing kit and just add your own board. Note that Home Depot and Lowe's Hardware will cut boards to any size you want usually for no extra charge. Just make sure your board fits under your sewing table and is approximately 3/4" thick.

This powerful LED table lamp will add value to any quilt studio with its super high-quality slim brushed chrome design and powerful 4,300 Lux bright light at 6" from 80 ultra bright daylight™ LEDs. This lamp uses only 5W of energy. It provides 35" long arm reach and even wide coverage of light which is ideal for large work surfaces. The daylight™ technology also reduces eye strain and glare for healthy vision and allows true color correcting for color matching.
$170.00 USD"I discovered this lamp hiding in a commercial beauty salon catalog, advertised as a "Manicure lamp", and immediately knew it was perfect for quilt studios. The 36" reach on a clamped pivot base means you can reach a 6 foot diameter circle. If you put your cutting table back to back with your pressing surface or sewing table, you can swing the light easily to light any surface." Lois
