I stand for cutting on my cutting table, but cutting anything or way hurts my back. So it is such a labor of love to do any quilting for the pain is great. but I love it and will continue doing it as long as supplies are donated to me. God bless.

I can stand only so long and then I sit
|
I have an adjustable TV table (they call them a "personal table" in Walmart), so I put it on it's lowest height and sit when I want to do short cuts: Cut apart HST, trim off corners, most anything that is not across the WOF. I love my counter height cutting table for the big stuff. Tired back? I sit and sew a while.
|
I always stand to cut and dicovered a couple of days ago if I stand and cut on the dining table I have more control over the ruler and cutter and is easier on my left hand. My back hurt a little after 5-6 hours, stopped hurting when I quit cutting. This is what I'm doing from now on. Do what is easier for you and what works for you.

I sit on a tall stool so I can get my pieces right. I cant stand longer than 15 minutes. I have a time pinning my quilts and batting and backing. Have to do a little and sit for a while.
Its h... to get old. |
I also have back and neck problems and have often wished I could cut sitting down but I can not get the right pressure to do it. So I cut until I can't anymore then lay down until the pain eases. I still quilt though.

Curious. |
If I had a chair high enough (bar level) I would love to sit to cut. Otherwise I am on the floor.

I stand as well. My cutting table is fairly high, used to be a sorting table in a sock mill where they paired socks. Love the height.

Yes I sit, My back bothers me and since I am a tall person, sitting is the way to go for me. I have a stool by my table
with my Ott light over it. Works perfect. |
