I watched a you Tube clip on setting up your sewing area and she had her sewing surface about 8-10 inches lower than mine is and I am shorter then the presenter. I wouldn't pay much attention except I have been getting this stingy/burning pain in my neck and shoulder since I have been spending more time at my machine. For it to be changed it will take some remodeling of the built in desk/sewing area that my husband has done for me so if we lower that area there won't be any turning back. I have a picture of the area when he finished but I can't figure out how to do an attachment.

I guess I am just trying to work through this. Would you mind sharing how tall are you and how high is your sewing surface?
