Ideally, when I work I like it to be approx. hip height so I can work comfortably standing up or sitting on a stool. The end that's attached to the clothesline now will be a bit higher, but I can adjust the ropes on each end as I work. Thanks for your good question!

Do you do the stenciling on the fabric stretched as it is in the picture? Love your work and showing my extreme ignorance here…how high off the floor is the fabric?
