I’ve been wanting to try a magnetic sewing mat for a long time… and now that I have one I can honestly say it’s the most exciting new sewing tool I’ve gotten in a long time. It’s been so fun to play with and has really gotten me using my rotary cutter SO much more than every before. I’m excited to show you this mat today.

rotary cutting for sewing
I’ve always wanted to cut sewing patterns with my rotary cutter, but just never got the hang of it. With this magnetic cutting system it’s finally working for me! I am able to cut curves and straight lines with no trouble. The blade and mat work in perfect harmony and I don’t worry about slipping and cutting the wrong place.
This mat system makes cutting with a rotary cutter or scissors simple and easy. My cutting time has been cut significantly since switching to this mat.
The ruler and magnets also make it really simple to cut and make squares and rectangles as well. The fabric stays in place with the magnets and no need for pinning or weights.
Why use a cutting mat with magnets?
I’ve already listed several reasons above and in addition to being so functional I love how this looks in my sewing space as well. My sewing area is the first thing you see when you walk in our house and the white just blends in beautifully!
AND if you do any photography of your sewing steps the white mat is just lovely for taking my step by step photos on… The blue {or other color} mats make getting good photos much more difficult.
To summarize here are the reasons I love my new magnetic cutting mat for sewing.
- It’s FASTER {my cutting time is less for sure!}
- I finally masters using my rotary cutter for curves and clothing
- The fabric doesn’t slip or slide when held with the magnets
- No need for pins or weights
- It’s SO pretty {haha!} and great for photos
