Because I hate cutting and my cutting station is my ironing station, I cut all pieces at once, minus the borders. It kills my knees standing that long, but I want it done and organized so I can start sewing. Sandwiching is another dreaded process though I have it easier than some: I have a ping pong table. It too kills my back and knees as I have to make several trips to the basement. I was hoping to do two yesterday, but only tolerated one. Maybe today.
