Where do you do your cutting?
#22
I have the bottom half of a computer desk (FROM GOODWILL FOR 7.00).........and I sit to cut (this old back doesnt do well to stand for too long at a time)..I find that sitting at this desk, it is very easy to do my rotary cutting......I have no problem with sitting to cut things out.

To save your back, the cutting table should be at least counter height. I do better with it a little higher. I bought an adjustable height table at Sam's Club and it's perfect for me. I don't cut as much as I use to using a rotary cutter since I bought the Accuquilt Go and buy a lot of precuts.

I bought a kitchen island/counter from Ikea. It's a perfect height for me and it's sturdy. One thing I did and I have noticed some comfort, was I added an exercise mat to stand on so I wasn't standing on carpet/concrete for long periods of time - my sewing room is in my basement.

I do must of my cutting on a drafting table that I have at the height I like. Sometimes I will cut at a small 2x4 table, and I have "legger-uppers" to raise that up higher so it is more comfortable to cut at.

I have a counter in my sewing area, Perfect height and width to my right is a 2 1/2 X 4 foot ironing board sitting on the counter. On my left and on shelves above me are all my scrap baskets. Easy reach for trimming as I go.
