Safety Tip...
Looks like you are close to my stitch count. Sorry you had the experience. I took 19 in mine after not paying attention to both hands. As far as the benches go, we have one at our field being tested to see how the members like it. Personally, I feel somewhat uncomfortable with my plane 3 ft off of the ground. Although it does provide great access to the plane, it is just a bad height for me.
