They say it may look like it isn't hard on the body, but it is.

So go slow, stretch, use assistive devices.

Like a rotary cutter is so much easier on the hands than scissors.

Take breaks.

Small sessions can be better than long ones.

Especially stretch the neck, back and shoulders and your hands and wrists.

Yoga for carpal tunnel can be especially helpful.

And Tiger Unity added, use a good chair with a butt pillow.

And if you start to get a headache, it might be time for some better glasses.

It's fine work that takes focus and concentration.

Also, good lighting.

Your brain will thank you.

And they say, I was unmotivated to finish quilting projects because seeing was hard.
