I've tried to do that many times and I just don't seem to be able to. I don't think I get as good a look at what's going on by sitting and trying to cut. What I have done, though, is to put my cutting mat on my kitchen counter, which comes up to about waist high for me, and it works great. My back will still bother me a little, just from standing, however, it's so much better than trying to bend over and cut. Hope this helps.

Oh, yes. I have a table to the left of my machine with a cutting mat on it. I cut, lay out pieces for blocks, and trim on it. I have my big ironing board right behind me so I can just turn and press, too. I have a nice adjustable secretary chair on wheels I can just rotate and roll around.

If you are able to stand and cut on a table that is higher than a normal table, you will have much more accuracy. I have Sally Collins precision piecing book and this is her advice. I usually stand for most of my cutting except for paper piecing. Has certainly improved my accuracy.
