I've heard stories of needlepointers stitching for 6-8 hours straight these days, as we try and keep anxieties and worries at bay and focus on accomplishing something. That is laudable but you need to keep your body in mind as you stitch. Sitting for that long doing a repetitive motion is very bad for it.
Over in the right hand column, under the pink heart photo, are a series of links in the "Ergonomics, Yoga and Health for Stitchers" section. Take this information to heart. Don't hurt yourself!
