Such a simple but effective idea Alison. Just had a light bulb moment – for wider ‘quilt/wall’ hangings you could also add something like a belt loop or two (like on a jeans/trousers waistband) as extra stability!

Thinking of buying an all in one cutting and pressing board/mat and not sure what to buy? Like me, you probably have 2 separate boards already. I have a several cutting boards of different sizes, from different…

What a lovely little project. I’m with you on scrap storing – I think it stems from my early playgroup leader days when we had to gather resources from everywhere and make the most of what we had (no money to buy things). I still ‘hoard’ to recycle now. Another thing to try – exciting.

These are great Sylvia, my next make I think – might even use freezer paper as a template and try making the tag on calico!

How much are they please. And would you say they are value for money.

Hi Denise – I have seen them on offer from £39 – £49 from different stockists which is comparable to similar sized cut and press boards. Value for money – yes, but it might depend on your budget and what you have already before considering buying one. I just love the portability of it – already taken it with me to Northumberland and the Yorkshire Dales as well as Our Quilty Pleasure sessions. Also serves as a useful laptop/gadget tray for your knee!

Thank you. I will be adding this is my wish list. As I often wish I could iron on my cutting mat to get the measureemnt right.

I have one of these and find it absolutely invaluable. Small enough to put just about anywhere while sewing and as you say large enough to accommodate the iron. A bonus for me is how efficiently it reflects heat, making the job of pressing very easy, if a little hot on the fingers when chain pressing, lol. Mine was on my Christmas wish list a couple of years ago and it’s one of my favourite sewing ‘extras’
