A cutting mat takes the blade and protects the table beneath at the same time. Made in the size 90 cm × 60 cm. Sold as a single item. Made from plastic.
Cutting on a base is cleaner: a mat takes the blade and spares the table at the same time. Anyone cutting fabric, paper and interfacing keeps a separate tool for each material — otherwise the edge suffers. 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.
What Prym Omnigrid Schneidematte 90 x 60 cm / 35 x 23 Inch Hellgrün 611468 is suitable for
- Patchwork and quilting
- Unpicking old seams
- Work at a fixed sewing station
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.
Is there anything for left-handers?
Yes, Prym offers shears with reversed blades and rotary cutters that set up for either hand. The pack states which applies. If unsure, try the tool in your hand before buying.
How do I look after it?
Wipe dry, never rinse, and keep the joint moving with a drop of fine oil now and then. Moisture is the only real enemy of a cutting edge.
