Some like a counter height for cutting, and some like a table height. Maybe try a few things to see what is most comfortable. One other thing, what size blade are you using? Maybe a bigger or smaller blade might help.

I'm not trying to be bossy, or a know-it-all, I just would hate to see you give up on quilting! I don't want you to be in pain!

I hope you find something that works that doesn't cause pain!
