I am finally about to move into a store. My Amayas currently are sitting on their Amaya carts in my home. When doing things like threading needles, changing/cleaning bobbins, etc. it is more convenient to sit in a desk chair. I think that as I am putting cabinets in the store, it would probably be easier to work at the machine if it was a little higher. Hooping and loading are done standing and I would rather not trip over the chair. Does anyone have any thoughts on height of the equipment? David Sklar Ballyhoo! Arlington VA
