Quilting Shouldn’t Hurt With The Right Setup

Starting a new sewing project buzzes with creativity and promises something beautiful at the end. But let’s face it, the mantra “quilting shouldn’t hurt” often gets overlooked in our enthusiasm, leading to a less glamorous side of crafting—the toll it takes on our bodies.

First, hours hunched over, deep in the zone, can leave our backs screaming for mercy. This turns our beloved hobby into a source of discomfort. One minute you’re in sewing heaven, and the next, you’re googling “Why does my back hurt after sewing for hours?”

Whether you’re new to sewing, or you’ve been sewing for years, embracing the mantra that “quilting shouldn’t hurt” is crucial. That’s why a great ergonomic setup for sewing is your best ally in this journey.

In this blog post, we’re diving deep into how the Pro Quilter Sit Upon from RunMDeal can be great for your sewing or quilting setup. We’re focusing on keeping your spine happy and your posture on point, ensuring the phrase “quilting shouldn’t hurt” becomes your new reality. Therefore, your sewing marathon doesn’t end with you reaching for the painkillers.

Quilting shouldn’t hurt, and with the right setup, it absolutely won’t!

The Problem with Bad Posture

“Your back hurts after you sew,” sounds familiar, doesn’t it? 

This discomfort mostly comes from bad posture. This can be seen as a huge problem for many sewers and quilters. When we’re deep into our projects, we tend to lean in closer to our machines, trying hard to be precise, not even realizing our posture is all over the place. This slouching doesn’t just mess with our backs; it can also lead to long-term health problems if we don’t do something about it. 

It starkly highlights that the idea that “quilting should hurt” should be challenged and corrected.

Quilting Without the Hurt

Despite the evolution of sewing machines and quilting tools, one area that’s remained largely overlooked is ergonomics. The ideal scenario where “your eyes should be level with the needle” remains a challenge, leading many to improvise with makeshift solutions. However, these often fall short of providing the support needed for a pain-free sewing experience. 

The Pro Quilter Sit Upon seeks to overturn this oversight, ensuring that “quilting shouldn’t hurt” is never part of your sewing vocabulary.
