I sew all day long, mostly on silk charmeuse.
My cutting table is tall enough for me to only have to bend slightly to reach across...my table is 48" x 96" with a grid rotary mat the same size.
I use excellent scissors and have a few pair so I can switch and have a pair while the other is being sharpened.
I love my table, but it is good lighting that is imperative.
An excellent secretary chair at the machine is also helpful,
as is a mat on the floor like chef's use in professional kitchens, to help with fatigue issues.

This will be the best tool ever! How often I have searched my magazines...usually to get so side tracked with ideas I forget what I was looking for! Thank you!
