Description
Its surface closes up again after each cut, which is why it lasts a long time. Sold as a single item. The finish is Aqua.
A clean cut decides the seam: what is cut crooked can never be sewn straight afterwards. Cutting on a base is cleaner: a mat takes the blade and spares the table at the same time. After cutting, the tool goes back closed or secured, so that nobody reaches into it. These notions fit any sewing drawer and come to hand quickly. Prym has made sewing notions in Stolberg for generations.
What OLFA OLFA cutting mat 45 x 30 cm / 18 x 12 Inch in Aqua is suitable for
- Cutting lengths of fabric
- Patchwork and quilting
- Alterations and shortening
Frequently asked questions
How do I keep the edge sharp?
Use it for one material only and store it dry. Cutting paper or tape with it shows after just a few metres of fabric and calls for resharpening.
Do I need a cutting mat?
With rotary cutters, yes, otherwise the blade runs into the table. The mat closes up again after each cut and lasts a long time when stored flat.
How do I cut straight?
With a ruler and a firm surface rather than freehand. The fabric lies flat and without tension; even a slight ripple under the blade pulls the cut askew.
When should a blade be changed?
As soon as it leaves threads standing or asks for more pressure than before. A blunt blade drags at the fabric instead of parting it, and the cut edge shows it.
