Possible to Sit & Cut Fabric?
I managed to stand & cut 6" squares today but my back & feet are in agony. I only stood for 3 hrs tops. I have a low coffee table in my living room & I thought maybe I could sit & cut. Opinions & Thoughts please?

It is worth a try -- the coffee table might be too low. It all depends on the height of your chair. I have sat on a bar stool at my kitchen counter to cut when my back hurt -- it was a struggle. I put a new blade in the rotary cutter and had an easier time cutting.

I have a small adjustable table that we bought at someplace like Office Depot or Staples or maybe Costco. I has just enough table top to put a med cutting matt on and comfortably cut while sitting on my couch. I has various levels that the height can be adjusted to. It works great.

I have one, maybe the same as you. I cut sitting down all the time, I don't think I have ever cut out a quilt standing. I do stand to square off, and add borders. I have lain the quilt on the floor in the living room and sew all the blocks and rows together.
Sorry your back and feet hurt. Try a chair that can be raised.
