Sew in Comfort & Sew Longer with Arrow Sewing Furniture

How many of us sew in spaces that aren’t dedicated to just our sewing? How many more are making do with a hodge-podge of furniture that we’re making work for what we need? I’m here to tell you from experience what a difference proper sewing furniture can make in your comfort and enjoyment of what you’re doing!

Sewing has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and my sewing space has been everything from my bedroom floor to the kitchen to the dining room table! I’ve sewn in an attic and I’ve sewn in the basement.

For more years than I want to admit, I sat in an old wooden desk chair to sew, because it was the only chair that was a comfortable height to work with the antique table I was using as a sewing table. Back pain stopped me from sewing as long as I wanted to. Eventually, I upgraded to a padded desk chair, slightly better but still not wonderful.

I would lay quilts out on the dining room table to pin baste the top, batting and backing together and use all the counter space I could find in the kitchen to lay out pieces once I got to the point that crawling around on my living room floor wasn’t a good option.

If any (or all) of this is sounding oh too familiar, let me introduce you to some solutions for your sewing dis-comfort because we all deserve better!

Hydraulic Sewing Chair

Last fall, I traveled to Elkhorn, WI with AccuQuilt Cutting Expert Pam to visit the headquarters for Arrow Sewing. When I tell you that sitting in one of their sewing chairs was life changing, I’m not exaggerating! When we first walked in, I thought the chairs were very cute – darling upholstery options including brightly colored with sewing machines and notions, buttons, dogs or cats and more. But then, we sat down on them and were instantly sold! The back support of this chair is amazing, and makes it possible to sew in comfort longer than I could imagine. Both of us were immediate converts, because this chair is the #1 Rated Sewing Chair in the country for a reason. It adjusts up and down to various heights and even has hidden storage in the seat!

We have a whole set of them in the Dream Studio at AccuQuilt and we love them “sew” much!

Make the Most of Your Space

These days, I have an amazing space dedicated just to sewing with oodles of space, but I know that I’m in the minority! Arrow Sewing has some amazing products available to provide optimal sewing comfort and space that will fold up to fill a very small footprint if you have limited or multi-use space for sewing. You deserve to follow your passion for sewing in any space, and here are some great options for you.

Arrow Sewing has wonderful solutions for quilters with small spaces to work in, proving that even in a small area, you can have comfort and style for your sewing. There’s even one designed especially for those who love sewing on Singer Featherweight 221 and 222 sewing machines!

With just a little more space, Arrow Sewing can make it possible for you to have some great sewing space combined with storage space that can still fold up and disguise itself as an ordinary cabinet – you’re the only one to know what it can really do!

Alright, let’s talk about comfort beyond finding the perfect chair. How about a tall table to allow you to cut, layout projects and more without having to hunch over? The Kookaburra Cutting Table is just that – and more. It even provides storage space for your notions and supplies giving you a 70” x 40” work surface at a comfortable height! What could be better? Having it fold down to just 20” x 40” so you can wheel it into any corner looking just like a cabinet!

Even a small space in the corner of your dining room can hold the Millie Cutting & Ironing Table giving you useful space that will fold down to just 37½” x 13¾” but when extended will give you both cutting and pressing space at a comfortable height!

Speaking of height, if you like to change your position while sewing, Arrow Sewing even has a solution for that! The amazing Eleanor Sewing Table gives you the power to raise or lower the sewing table with just the push of a button to keep you comfortable sewing while sitting or standing!

Maybe you have good size space and just don’t know where to begin. Since you deserve to have something that will stand the test of time and accommodate all your sewing and storage needs, maybe Arrow Sewing's top selling “dream team’ is right for you! The Kangaroo & Joey Sewing Cabinet will allow you to really make the most of your space, especially with a little extra storage and space by adding on a Kiwi Storage Cabinet.

One of the most frequently asked questions we get at AccuQuilt is how to store GO! Dies – and the basic answer is to store them on their ends or sides, like books on a shelf, and Arrow Sewing just happens to have the ideal shelf! Their 4-Shelf Fabric Display unit is sturdy as can be and provides enough storage space to make quilters shout with glee!

So, how much time do you spend sewing each week? Aren’t you worth the cost of a little comfort? You bet you are!

Quilters, you can find all these products and more on AccuQuilt and Arrow Sewing's websites, from your local Arrow Sewing retailers and maybe even a quilt show near you. Check them all out or see what fits your needs the best and treat yourself to comfort while you sew!
