I am new and have a question.

Ok. I just finished some cutting on the kitchen counter-top and think that is going to do it for me. It's a great height. If I see I can do this quilting thing I will eventually get my husband to build me some sort of table. THANKS!

I'm also 5' 1" and have trouble with my back from bending over too much - so I can relate :) Years ago I purchased a Sullivans Home Hobby Table - if you Google it you'll see what I'm talking about. Perfect height for me to cut and also works well for layering my quilts for quilting.

I second the suggestion of the bed risers. I cut, and iron, on a kitchen table in my basement. The bed risers made the height just perfect for me-no more back pain bending over cutting. They were maybe $9 at Walmart. The president of our quilting guild turned me on to them.

I use my ironing board as I can adjust it to the high I need.
