I have a 6 ft table that I have on bed risers which works perfectly for cutting for me. Love having it raised. Really saves my back.

Well, I'll be. That's what mine is: 3" below my elbow. I didn't plan it that way, just that was the height that felt the best to me.

Though I have had to sit down and cut like Pat when I was not doing so well.

Anything to keep on quilting!

Yes, my cutting table is on risers too....about 2-3" below my elbow, but this one at the retreat was equal in height to the owner's elbows. Like I said I did not try it. Now I am sorry I did not. It would seem to me that because this one was so tall it would be more stress on shoulders trying to apply pressure to cut correctly. There may be another in June, I will definitely try it then
