yes it does!
i cut at the kitchen table, but when my back starts acting up, i go to a cutting table, it is higher , more like the height of a counter top.
anyone in your area that can give you some guidance? or even a joanns? they used to have beginner/basics for new quilters. i was taught to "press" not "iron"..cutting,using a ruler, measuring, reading a pattern..etc...it was well worth it. then after we had the basics down, we got to make a raggedy quilt!
