Sew Smart
The Ergonomics of Healthy Quilting
​
Gather your quilty friends for an entertaining and informative presentation.
It's no secret that quilting can be a real pain in the neck, but it doesn't have to be.
​
Healthy quilting includes:
-
the ergonomics of sewing, pressing, cutting
-
sewing room design and set-up
-
FMQ and longarm quilting posture
-
stretches designed for quilters neck, sore shoulders, backache
-
carpal tunnel syndrome prevention
-
the importance of hydration and movement
-
and other tips so we can sew smart to sew long!
In addition to being an obsessive quilter, I hold certifications in Ergonomics, Nutrition, Fitness, Home Economics, Arthritis Pain Management and Older Adult Training. See Bio
Ask me about speaking to your guild, or providing a lecture at your next quilt show or conference. While I try to keep my site updated, it's best to verify availability with an email to rose@healthyquilting.com
