I always cut standing. I love cutting! It's my favorite part of the process.

At kitchen table, I find I make less mistakes standing. On the floor, I do accurate work on small pieces. I make more errors sitting and find I am less likely to cut through all fabric in the cut.

I have been sitting and cutting for about 2 years... Moved into a very small house and I have to cut on the coffee table that is 36" sq. It works for now....

I tried to cut while sitting this weekend and was not happy with the results. Maybe because I was sliver trimming and trying to square blocks which drives me nuts anyway - but I didn't have as great a view of the ruler as normal. I've raised a table in the Mom Cave to work as a cutting and pressing space.

Cheers, K

I cut the smaller pieces sitting down and always use a sharp, newer cutter.

I do the big cutting standing, and have a small portable type thing that is "press on one side and cut on the other" that I use at my sewing table and can use it while sitting. But my back is starting to bother me after long periods of standing, so I guess I am going to go in search of a Plan B for cutting. I do have a large coffee table that I am giving some thought to trying out for the sitting part. I don't know. I am pretty much too old timey to try anything new like that.

I have a basket just outside the kitchen door and whenever I have a few moments I cut out using the kitchen counter - its a much better height for cutting. Just doing a little bit at a time suits me.

I should have specified "cutting on a coffee table or TV tray" in my title.

Rotary cutting at an ordinary height table while sitting definitely DOES NOT work for me.

Have you tried raising your table by putting cans under the legs. It will bring it up to a nice height

I'll do trimming next to my machine when I'm sewing, but larger things get cut at my cutting table. It is a dining room table mounted on bed risers. Definitely saves my back.
