Burda Style For people who sew
Hi all, so I have an odd quandary. I broke my neck and have several complications from it that i am still rehabbing. The problem is that while drafting patterns, I lean over the coffee table to get accurate measurements, but then I’m holding my neck up without support in a funny position for hours.
I thought about an easel, but they seem too rickety to be able to push on a ruler to hold the line straight while I draft.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get a more upright angled work table? Or even advice on how to help with my injury so I can keep drafting and sewing longer without having to take ‘recharge’ breaks?
Thanks lovely ladies and gentlemen,
Cheers and Happy Sewing!

Sounds like you need an old fashioned drafting table like this: http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?q=drafting+table&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=17845340919633666014&sa=X&ei=46EhUK2VFYrKsga664GYDw&ved=0CHAQ8wIwAg
