What is the best cutting table for sewing?
Hello everyone! How are you doing today? My wife looking for a cutting table for my sewing room, she said, she found https://www.fabricers.com/best-fabric-cutting-table-for-sewing-reviews/, and some other recommendations from google search! It's a big investment, so do you guys have any cheap recommendations?
Thank you!!Tags: None

Cheap recommendations? Hmmm, I found my Horn of America cutting table for $75 at a moving sale, I stole that one! If you really want to watch costs, I would recommend Craigs List, or looking on line. I have bought really nice sewing furniture that way, I can't afford the prices that they are asking for on quality furniture.
However, as a good husband, perhaps you could make her one. Look up DIY sewing tables, and see what you come up with. I have had several friends do that and they had made some amazing sewing furniture for minimal cost. Remember happy wife, happy life

Robbin101,
I have a sewing table similar to the first one on the website you mentioned. It is 34 inches high. I am 5 foot 1 inch tall and that table is not comfortable for me to cut on
if it is anything with large pieces of fabric and long cuts. I also have two Costco folding tables that are 29 inches high. They are perfect for me and I can walk around them
allowing me to make cuts from the left or right side of the mat. When I am quilting a large quilt I use the same Costco tables to make an extension on my sewing machine
cabinet on the left of the machine and directly behind the machine to support the weight of the quilt. HelenW

I have a pine ikea table (jokkmokk which comes with 4 crappy chairs. I think the $69 Ingo is the same sans varnish). For the price it’s sturdy, flat and has been my cutting table and/or kitchen table for about 7 years and it’s moved... 3-4 times. I’m pretty happy with it and it’s made of wood—not particle board or that weird laminated cardboard honeycomb stuff. I’d give it a solid thumbs up.
regards,onplanners

The best cutting table is sturdy, stable, & the right height. My cutting table is our old kitchen table, an oak butcher block style table, placed on bed risers. There is some play in terms of the stability on the bed risers but unless I'm really pushing it around, which I shouldn't be when cutting fabric, it isn't an issue. The table is excellent at being flat & not bowing, which is important for accurate measuring & cutting.
Height depends on your wife's height. Take a look at ergonomic recommendations for kitchen counter heights for a person of your wife's height. Cutting requirements are about the same. I am 5'8" tall and my table, on the bed risers, is 36" tall. That puts it about 3" above the height of my hip bone and about 6" lower than the point of my elbow. For me, that is about right. One shouldn't feel like raising one's shoulders to cut, or bend over or hunch to cut.
