What do you cut fabric on?

I got a couple of shop work tables from Home Depot. They are about 2' by 5' and they are waist high. I lined them up with the long sides together and put a rigid top over the two. Then I got a huge cutting mat to cover most of it. It isn't the prettiest, but it works well for me and saves my back. Very inexpensive, too.

I have one that DH found in the damaged section at JoAnn's. I piece of the edge molding had come lose in 2 areas. He glued them back in place and it is like new! Just the right height and I can fold it up and put it against the wall behind a chair when not in use. I think they sell for over $100, but got it for about $25. There is a 50% off coupon in the Joanns flyer that starts tomorrow. If they aren't on sale, you could use that.

I have one of the JoAnn's cutting tables. I am 5'10" , so it's a little bit low for cutting for a long time. But for most work, it's great. I don't find that mine wobbles. I got mine on a great sale with a coupon, so I'm pretty happy.

I have a table from Joannes, got for the same reason and I am not sorry!! I love it, it is just the right height for cutting. I also use for fold my fabric around fabric boards and for folding my laundry. It's great! I don't think you'd be sorry. You might consider getting bed risers. A lot of quilters use them to raise their table for cutting.

It works perfect and I could cut for a long time and have no back pain at all. I can take a pic if you are interested; PM me with your email.
