Like charsuewilson, I too sit to cut. Even when the table is cutting height, it hurts my back to stand and cut. I use a banquet table. About 30 x 60. I have my 24 x 36 cutting mat towards one end and my table top ironing board towards the other end. And, my chair is on rollers, so it is easy to go between the machine, cutting mat, and ironing board. I don't think I will ever stand to cut or iron again.
