I am new to quilting and find cutting is quite a chore. The main problem seems to be my cutting space is too low. I am currently using a long folding table - any suggestions? Has anyone raised their table by using the things you can put under your bed to raise it up? Thanks for your ideas.

I have seen on here before where people have used pvc pipes to raise their table legs.

MINE IS MY KITCHEN TABLE......

I've been using the floor but age is creeping up on me and am seriously considering using the dining room table or our bed.

I do my cutting on the kitchen counter, it's the perfect height for me.

I like having the table lower, because I can put more pressure behind what I'm doing. But it does start to hurt my shoulders after a while.

I found a folding adjustable height table at Sam's Club. The highest level is perfect for my Alto cutting board. I have the AccuQuilt Go and it needs to be much lower so I bought another adjustable table and keep it at the lowest height. It's perfect. I tried the bedrisers but they made the table too unstable. PVC pipes are what we use at guild to raise the tables for cutting. They work the best and keep the table very sturdy. I painted them using spray paint for plastic (now available) to match the table legs and they look nice and not so make do.

Get bed risers. They are either plastic or wood. You can get them at walmart or bed bath and beyond.

I use my kitchen table or the freezer top. Not a big enough home to have a permenent location set up.

Yes! I have bed risers under a table for my basket weaving too....this saves my back.
