Ahhh, I see. Yes, I would think 30" would work well if you're working on a
WW loom & not a modern floor loom.  :>)  Standing would also be easier on
the back.
As for foundation garments...  I've found a waist cincher to be invaluable
if I have to stand or sit for any length of time... Not period, but keeps me
out of the E.R. <G>
[The last SCA event -used as an example only- I went to required brawny
fighters to help me walk across a field to get back to my tent...  I was in
BAD shape from being up & down & bending, etc.  Most embarassing!  I,
literally, could not move one foot in front of the other!]
Meanwhile, today, I get to un-stitch one of the gores I put in last night.
I have one right side up & one upside down. <G>  That is what I get for
sewing late at night.  LOL  Ælfgifu
