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.
