Default accuquilt...many heads make better decisions

i like cutting and have thought a machine isnt for me, but fell and busted my arm but good. am on vacation so wont know much more for a few weeks. just getting all that out of the way, dont need sympthay, ive had worse happen

but between that, failing vision and aging bones/joints been thinking
i use 1.5. 2. 2.5 and very occassionally 3" squares.and 1/2 squares
i dont mind calling on rob to run the handle for me and i know he wouldnt mind, just dont want him doing more, quilting is My thing.
so tell me would one of the small cutters suffice in the long term?
would an old typewriter table suffice to use one or do you need something a lot more stable?

cutters come up on my nwquilters sale page but they seem to have a ton of dies i wouldnt want or to pay for, bt would you recommend a used one?
i have written to my local quilt store to ask if they have a shop machine to rent time on but they probably dont.

thoughts? suggestions? what am i not considering? im not adverse to buying a bigger machine but would prefer to avoid it. thank you, sharyn
