>>>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I recall once that I forgot my lacemaking table for a class and Maria Provencher suggested I keep the pillow in my lap and elevate my feet on a stool, holding the pillow in the lap. She claimed that this was the way that it was always done in Belgium and that you could work for hours without your back hurting. <<<
I have a lacemaker's stool for just that purpose. Yes, it's genuinely a lacemaker's stool, made by a lacemaker's husband for lacemakers. But the stool is only about 4 inches (10 cm) high at the front, 5 in (12/13 cm) at the back), just enough for an average-height person to get her upper legs horizontal when sitting in an average-height chair. A 9-inch stool would put your upper legs decidedly sloping upward, which I would find very uncomfortable unless the chair had good back support (unless, of course, the chair seat was about 5 inches higher than the average chair).
