I got a table from Sam’s that can be adjusted to a higher level so I can comfortably stand and cut, that works well for me. It is skinny so it fits in a corner of my sewing area.

i am most comfortable using the kitchen island or when at my friends house i use her “pub height” table that is counter height. now i am 5′7″ so that height works for me – i don’t do great cutting at a kitchen table as my back aches from it.

Hi Brye, I use the kitchen bench when I need to do cutting as it is perfect height for me. But when cutting for my machine quilting customers, my DH made me a fantastic table, at the perfect cutting height, it is in my studio which is outside the house, but if I need to do lots of cutting I will go out their and cut on the big table with plenty of room to spread out. I guess I’m a little bit lucky in that aspect. Vanessa

I would have never guessed you were only 5′ like me. I have a old kitchen table my husband refinished as my craft table, and a nice cushy bench…or sometimes the computer chair gets rolled over there to use.

My son (now married) had a loft bed with a pull out desk. I took the front rail off, took off the mattress,
and bought a thick white board, cut to fit across the top. The height is a perfect 35 inches. I leave the desk in the pulled out position & that is where my sewing machine is. And I use his dresser to store notions & fabric, as well as, the drawers on the front & side of the loft bed.

As odd as this sounds, I use the floor! Livingroom is good sized, and I have a flat cutting board right in the middle of the livingroom. Always worked out just find.
