Sewing Chair

[Lowena]

I hate a chair without arms but the chair I have atm is very uncomfortable.It pitches me forward.

It is difficult to find a good chair as we are all different, I am also wondering about a chair as at the moment I use a dinning room chair downstairs.

[Diane]

@Celia I also use a dining room chair but I need something more suitable that’s got some height adjustment.

[Celia]

@Diane yes I agree I think when I get my new table I might look for a chair, it is just where to put it, or rather where to put the extra dinning room chair. :thinking: :thinking:

It seemed odd seeing your post timed at 3.36, I assumed at first you couldn’t sleep and then realised it was your morning time before you went to work. Hope you had a good shift and are now of home nearly home safely.

[Diane]

@Celia Yes I was up and was waiting to leave for work 

We don’t eat at the table and I don’t have visitors round either (sound like a miserable ole cow don’t I)  so I don’t need dining room chairs, we have two spare dining chairs upstairs if we need them so I’ll dump this one I have in the lounge.

[Celia]

@Diane    I can join you with that too, we don’t eat at the table and I can’t remember the last time I had visitors to eat at the table.

I was actually thinking of replacing the dinning room table chairs with 2 office type as we do use the table to do jigsaws and it would be waaaay more comfortable.

@Celia That sounds like a plan  I find dining table chairs uncomfortable so I’ll be glad to get rid of it.

I don't think a normal chair is really suitable for using a sewing machine as there is not adjustment for height and back rest @Diane  I have seen blogs where they've used one but I shift around a lot so wheels are very useful.

We don't using the dining room for eating, other than when family come, but in the kitchen the worktop has a piece that comes out into the middle of the kitchen with a drop down bit going around two sides that would sit four people.  We did used to have a kitchen table but this is far better for us and utilises space better for storage.

@Gernella I agree, that’s what I find with the chair I have at the moment, no height adjustment and it feels a little too low and it’s awkward when you move a lot and don’t have wheels

After a lot of indecision a few months ago, I bought an Ikea Flintan chair.  It's very comfortable but a little annoying that the castors lock when you aren't sitting on it.  Easy to wheel when you're on it, but harder to push other times.

I have a flintan chair from IKEA in a pretty soft pink, I'd wanted turquoise but it was out of stock  , apparently the locking wheel mechanism is a safety feature - helps to stop you missing the chair and landing on your bum when sitting down. I've found that it's easy to move if you put one foot on top of a wheel and then push the chair - it moves easily.

I too have a flintan chair from IKEA which i find really comfortable.  It was my son's desk chair which I inherited when he went to Canada and is now a rather faded red as he used it in a sunny room.  I rather like the colour and have a small waterfall quilt draped over the back.

That looks to have a lovely bottom on it @Sewbusy looks a lot broader than others, nice and comfy.
