I am disabled and I have to sit to cut, press, sew, whatever. You will learn from experience if you need to make any adjustments to get your cutting to come out right - I use an architects drafting table I found on sale which allows me to tilt it up when I am copying patterns and lie it flat when cutting. It is on wheels which means I can roll it right next to my sewing machine. I use a Cut N Press on it so also have my iron next to me while sewing. Quilters are a creative lot and you can find a multitude of methods to accomplish anything!
