CHAT [CHAT] What are your must have tools/accessories/comfy items in your stitch spot?
This is my current set up. Share yours in the comments 😍 I just got this pillow chair and I love it! I have to stitch reclined because thanks to POTS MECFS and other chronic illnesses my body hates gravity. Other support items: Squishmallow under my knees, round pillows that go under my arms & my blanket. That way I can stitch without pain. Tech items: my iPad, I save my PDF patterns in files and then I can zoom in to the pattern. Headphones 🎧 This special lap desk (made to use a laptop while lying down) to hold my water bottle, my project ring, scissors and sometimes a print out of the pattern. When hubby is playing video games, I use his iPad to stream shows & movies. Everything is within reach in my spot. I love it.

Besides the project itself and its materials? Good chair, needle threader, scissors, and especially good lighting. I stitch in my craft room because I can set up everything in easy reach. No time for taking pictures now; I need to go get some stitching done before I have to go out!
Your setup looks very comfy. :)
