Hi everyone, i need some inspiration to solve a problem. I have big problems with bi lateral hip issues, i have been struggling with pattern cutting for some time causing a lot of pain standing and cutting out. I have tried to think of a way to ease my struggle but just cant think of a way to improve things, anyone have any ideas or tips I would be very grateful

Hi Allison, that sounds really tough, I'm sorry I don't have any tips myself but hope that someone might have some suggestions.

I have been looking at portable cutting tables with adjustable height so I could sit on a stool to cut out has anyone got one and how do you find it ?

This sounds like a great option - have you got the space to have the table so you can move around it - maybe if your stool was on wheels?

Hi Allison. Its not portable but my desk is an adjustable height desk and I just love them saves my back, I can make sure it is absolutely the correct height (approx £180 from amazon - I have 2 now. One for work). I hope you find something that works for you.

I am definitely interested in this option its something I have been considering for a while . I have a horn cabinet for my sewing machine but to be honest I never shut it down and its just a bulky space eater.
