This NEW 14" x 14" ingenious new cutting mat from Quilter's Select is a "3 birds with 1 stone" situation. One side has a lovely wool mat for pressing and the other side has a cutting mat. There is central core that keeps the board rigid and sturdy. Use it on a table OR on your lap while you are sewing!
I was a little skeptical about using it on my lap but Alex said to try it and she's right—it sits flat on my lap while I'm sewing and I love it! It's a little big for a lap, but I sew with my feet up and that supports the far side of the board. It doesn't always replace a Sandboard or a Lap App, but it is very handy and I find myself using it a lot.
One side for Cutting:
- 1" markings numbered from right to left/left to right for ambidextrous use
- Marked in 1/8" increments for your most detailed cutting projects
- Most common angles included
One side for Pressing:
- 8mm wool press mat
- Reduces pressing time by reflecting heat into the fabric, warming the fabric from both sides when pressing
- Creates crisp, flat seams
- Perfect for quilt blocks ad machine embroidery
Mat care tips: Do not roll. Iron ONLY on wool side, not on the cutting side. When pressing with steam on the wool pad, allow wool to cool before turning over to avoid condensation. Avoid exposure of the cutting side to direct sunlight & excessive heat, which may cause cutting mat to warp.
