I used to cut standing at a card table. After a while, my back would seize up. Take frequent breaks for now. If this is the only place you have to cut then everyone has given really good suggestions and maybe one of them will work for you. I now have a dedicated sewing room (actually disaster area). I set up a cutting table next to my sewing maching. I'm using a fold up TV tray table I bought at Walmart. I also bought a swivel desk chair so I can swivel from the sewing machine to the table and cut sitting down. To be honest, my back still occasionally gets tired (bad posture) so this isn't a complete fix. The good thing about the tray table is that it fits into a two foot space and it can be folded flat against the wall when not in use. So, maybe this may be a option for you as well. Good luck!
