Cutting Mat
The mat is a 20in x 24in double-sided, 7-layer self-healing magnetic cutting mat – one side is dark grey with white lines, while the other is light grey with black lines.
Choose the side you feel will help you see things the best, depending upon the color of your material – or, just for what'll look Insta-ready when you go to share your projects on social media!
We chose 20in x 24in as our initial mat size, because we've never understood why a full fat quarter won't fit on any other similarly-sized mat – with ours, you can!
There are 1/2in numbers and lines for those quilters who cut most of their pieces on the 1/2in, of course, there are standard whole 1in numbers for all the other sewists and crafters who cut this way – and yes, there are 1/8in and 1/4in markings throughout the mat too.
Ruler
The magnetic ruler is a 6-1/2in x 24in acrylic ruler with turquoise and black imprints – the 1/2in numbers are in turquoise boxes, and the 1in numbers are in black boxes.
Additionally, there are 1/8in and 1/4in markings, as well as 30°, 45°, and 60° guides on it.
We designed it so you can use it right-side-up for whole-inch cuts, or flip it around 180° for work needing half-inch cuts.
The magnets in the ruler are strong enough that your project doesn't slip, and light enough that the ruler also easily shifts where you want it to – and we added beveled edges on the short ends, so you can easily pick up and move the ruler.
With the Sew Magnetic ruler, you don’t have to push down very hard to hold everything in place – so it's a more ergonomic way to cut than ever before!
Boosters
If you're ever cutting very thick materials – pre-quilted pieces, foams, Cuddle, leather, cork, or other materials where the magnetic ruler isn't quite strong enough to hold, then that's where the included 12 cylindrical magnets – SewTites® Boosters™ – come into play.
They’re designed to snap onto the magnets in the ruler to strengthen its hold.
Now, you can easily cut all the materials – from thick to stretchy to slippery — without shifting or distorting.
You can also use the Boosters – or any other SewTites magnets – to hold down paper garment patterns, acrylic templates, and whatever else you can think of without pins.
We foresee folks using this for leather work, scrapbooking and collage work, blocking small knitted projects, and even as a tool for basting small quilted projects.
Re-useable Box
The entire cutting system comes in a beautiful full-color retail-ready cardboard box with a carry handle, so fabric and quilt shop owners can easily showcase the product in-store, as well as easily ship it to online customers.
And, for the quilter or sewist who cuts on their kitchen table, or other multi-use surfaces, customers will also be able to keep the box to store the system in when it's not in use – as well as to tote it to retreats and classes.
