Ping John re chairs
Hey John, (and all those peeking in)
I remember your getting a nice chair for your sewing machine tables. I can't remember what the brand was. Do you recall the brand or page you bought it from? Anyone else with really nice chair suggestions please chime in. TIA, Taria |

Ping John re chairs
I have a really nice office chair. Adjustable arms -- so you can tweak them
to fit nicely at your table. (or you can remove them altogether). Swivels and rocks -- very comfortable and great back support -- which is critical to me. I have a carpeted sewing area -- so have an office mat under it. I highly recommend a good office chair. -- Kate in MI http://community.webshots.com/user/K_Groves "Taria" wrote in message ...

Skinny quilter chairs
I accept that I am speaking for the minority - skinny quilters. There are 3
comfortable chairs in my sewing room. Comfortable for the others who quilt or visit in here - but not to me. Last time I had my teeth cleaned, I noticed that the dental assistant had what looks like an ideal chair for me. I googled 'dental assistant chair' and find that there are several seat styles, several backs,(one with what they call a pear shape that looks good) no arms to get in the way and they adjust from 23" to 30" with a footrest all the way around. We have dental appointments this month and I'm going to check out the chairs. Maybe I'll find one I love and find out where they bought it. It could happen. Oh how I would love to have a 'just right' chair. Polly "Taria" wrote Hey John, (and all those peeking in) I remember your getting a nice chair for your sewing machine tables.

It is multi- adjustable, Up-down for height, back-forward and tilt. The back support is height adjustable also. The cushion is large enough to handle any sized person. I have another chair that is similar that is an architects drafting chair that is able to extend higher for use in some situations that require a higher seating position but it does not have as many adjustments and it has a smaller seat. To it's advantage, it is cheaper. The reliable chair is made for the sewing industry and the requirements thereof, so It should suite anybody who does any amount of sewing. When you think about those sweat shop sewing hours, a comfortable chair is a must. Kind of pricey, but well worth it to me. Of the two hairs that I have, it is the preferred one for comfort. John. |

I know it will look kind of funny to test at a store but if your SM has a
knee lift, you need to know if that will work okay with your new chair. The newest member of my chairs has a sort of puffy rise on both sides of the chair bottom. It interferes with my ability to slip over and nudge the knee lift. Might not be a problem with adult-size knees but is impossible for me to navigate. Ha! Did you notice that John has two hairs?

Yes Polly I did notice that John had two 'hairs'. All this time I thought
that he must have been shaving his head, but it seems that he suffers from Major hair loss. Dee in Oz ( I usually miss the typos but caught this one) "Polly Esther" wrote in message ...

Ping John re chairs
Thanks John. That was the info I was looking for. There is some
refiguring and big changes going on here since DD will hopefully be closing escrow and moving out. Good work chairs for me and DH are definitely in order. If not before than for Christmas or birthdays. Never too soon to start looking though. Thanks. Taria "John" wrote in message ...

Yes, I do like it. It has solved all of the problems that I had using whatever chairs that I had around the house, and tried to adapt to sewing. It is infinitely adjustable and should be able to deal with any fitting issues that somebody could have. Being as it is made for the sewing industry, a lot of thought was put into it, for that usage, as opposed to adapting an existing "office" chair, which might work for some people, but not everybody. I think that the same company that makes the chairs, also imports the Reliable brand of industrial sewing machines. Don't quote me on that, but I seem to remember talking to the salesman and that was the impression I gleaned from that conversation. Although, it has been almost a year since I dealt with them, and memory might be playing tricks, on that claim. It has allowed me to do 9 hour stints in the "saddle", and still get up and walk away from the machine, without a fist full of Tylenol to ease the pain. Testimonial enough for me. I do use the Architects, Chair for the treadle because the seat is smaller and it fits into the way I sit in order to use the treadle. It is less adjustable, but the adjustment it gives, is good enough for that usage. See, I am not doctrinaire about chairs. If it fits, use it. Although I don't sew at the treadle for 9 hours at a time, I do spend a goodly amount of time using it, 4-6 hrs. John John |
