Review on πŸ‘œ Portable Omnigrid 8-3/4-Inch-by-11-3/4-Inch Tote Size Cutting & Pressing Station: Foldaway Convenience by Tara Ford

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect and convenient cutting mat

I bought these because I was tired of constantly getting up from the sewing machine to go to the cutting station and then only to come back to the ironing station later the sewing machine. As I started practicing paper stapling, I had to do it more and more often, and my project took forever. Now I have a small station next to the sewing machine where I can quickly cut something and iron something small. And easy. It doesn't take up much space and I found I could rotate or fold it as needed. It has helped me really speed up the pace of my projects. It was exactly what I had hoped for. It's also thin enough that I can just pack it up and hide it when I'm doing a project that doesn't require repeated ironing and cutting. I wasn't trying to do anything big. cut or iron on as may be required in economy class. I'd guess it's not ideal for this given its size (think two regular sheets of paper laid out side by side), so I still use my regular cutting mat and ironing board when I'm cutting something, say, more than 10 inches. However, they do sell larger folding stations if you're hoping to use them for that!

Pros
  • Easy to fold in half with tongue closure and carrying handles
Cons
  • Disappears

No metric markings, but it’s one of the best purchases I’ve made in years.
