I am short, and have a problem working on the far side of a large pillow.
I am short, too -- 5'2" -- but love big pillows because of all that room to spread the bobbins (even 12 pairs can use some room to breathe <g>). What I've learnt is that, if the pillow sits really low, I can bend over it at the hips, rather than at the waist, which gives me an extra 3-4" of reach. This has another advantage as well -- my arms don't get as tired working, because they're fairly close to my lap (the most restful position), instead of being raised.
But, of course, that means having the pillow sitting on an adjustable stand, not at a standard height table. It's one of the resaons that I'm reluctant to go to workshops which are beyond a sensible driving range (8-10hrs maximum); my large Table-mate would not travel well on a plane (and neither would a large pillow, any more)
