Omnigrid2105 8.75x11.75 Inch-by-Inch Tote Size Foldaway Portable Cutting & Pressing Station

I don't have a lot of room to extend a full-size ironing board or a small table top one. This is a good size, a little larger than a piece of copier paper and it is sturdy. I place it next to my sewing machine to make pressing quilt blocks EASY. And the size makes it perfect for taking to retreats. I may need to get another one!

I bought this because I was tired of constantly getting up from my sewing machine to go to the cutting station and then over to the ironing station to only then come back to the sewing machine. As I started practicing paper piecing, I was finding that I was having to do this more and more and my project was taking forever.Now I have a small station right next to my sewing machine where I can both cut something and iron something small quickly and easily. It does not take up much space and I find that I can rotate it or fold it as necessary. This has helped me really pick up the pace with my projects. It was exactly what I was hoping for.It is also so slim I can just pack it up and hide it away when I'm doing a project that doesn't require repetitive ironing and cutting.I have not tried to do any large scale cutting or ironing on this, such as may be required in a travel class. I would imagine it would not be ideal for this given it's size (think of about 2 regular sheets of paper laid out next to each other),therefore I still use my regular cutting mat and ironing board when cutting anything over say 10 inches. They do, however, sell larger foldaway stations if that is what you're hoping to use it for!

I have the larger fold away but I wanted this one just for the size. It is so much easier to take to classes and sew day.

It Works really well for a Newbie Like Me.

Perfect size

you can carry it with you, be good to take camping , with cutter and mat, have time to cut a lot of pieces.take it with you anywhere nice size. made good, sturdy

This is a good size for rotary cutting and pressing quilt blocks up to 10” and for paper piecing. This works well especially in a quilting class where supplies and space may be limited.

How on earth did I not know that this sort of thing existed?!This is just a wonderful product. I use it nearly daily right now. Since I’m working on a tiny table at the moment (okay, it’s a TV tray), I have to be extremely aware of space considerations. My normal cutting mat is bigger than the tray surface and while it still works fine, the entire tray has to be cleared off.This wonderful cutting/pressing combination is small enough that I can even leave the sewing machine on the tray. I just move it to the furthest edge and the mat fits perfectly in front of it.I absolutely love the size, the fact that it has both a cutting mat and a pressing mat. I am so grateful to have the measuring lines on the cutting surface. All of this makes my life so much easier.If I had to find one quibble, it is that the measurements do not include metric. This is annoying only because some of my patterns are ones I am drafting from instructions from overseas and use metric. This necessitates having to go find another ruler. But I CAN find another ruler, so while it is an annoyance, it does not make this any less a wonderful product.

Super portable and very handy for travel and small work spaces.

Llegó rápido, muy buena calidad y cumple con la descripción del producto.

Arrivo in tempo. Dimensioni ideali per piccoli tagli di stoffe. Quello che desideravo.

I was previously using a giant cutting mat on my bed to cut small things like masks, fabric pieces, etc and was killing my neck and back.So much easier to cut smaller things with this - I can do it on my lap on the couch. I can actually say this made my life easier. I also iron on it a lot (small things, with a mini iron) and it's really convenient for that as well (bias tape, masks, quilt squares etc), BUT you can feel the heat come through the bottom of it if you iron for a while at a higher setting. So it could probably warp if you're not careful.

how did I live without this? great A4 size for working in restricted space and carrying to class, folds in half for cutting, flip it over and iron on the other side. Really fast delivery from the U.S.A., would recommend this to anyone, good quality product
