Tri-Fold Cutting Mat + Large Wool Pressing Mat

The two big surfaces a sewing session needs, in one set. This pairs the Tri-Fold Self-Healing Cutting Mat with the extra-large wool pressing mat, so you can cut and press without hunting for space or swapping tools.

The Tri-Fold mat opens to 23.6 by 35.4 inches, close to twice the size of the common 18 by 24 mat, so long cuts happen in one pass. When you are done cutting, it folds into three panels and stands on a shelf. The 17 by 24 inch wool pressing mat gives you a firm, heat-holding surface for pressing seams and blocks crisp, and the dense New Zealand wool pushes the iron's heat back through the fabric from both sides.

Cut on one, press on the other, and put both away when you are done.

Why You'll Love It

• A Real 23.6 by 35.4 Inch Cutting Surface: The Tri-Fold mat is close to twice the size of the common 18 by 24 mat, so you cut the width of quilting cotton in one pass, ruler down once.

• Look at the Fold: Each fold line is cut as a wave, so the panels lock together and sit flat, with no straight groove for the blade to catch on. It folds into three and stands on a shelf.

• Press Crisp From Both Sides: The 17 by 24 inch wool mat holds the iron's heat and sends it back through the fabric, so seams and blocks come out flat and sharp.

• Cut and Press in the Same Space: A session needs both a cutting surface and a pressing surface. This set covers both, and both put away when you are finished.

• Both Made to Last: The self-healing mat stays smooth through years of cutting, and the wool mat is naturally fire-resistant and holds up to daily pressing.

1. Tri-Fold Self-Healing Cutting Mat 

• Open size: 23.6 by 35.4 inches (60 by 90 cm), close to twice the cutting area of the common 18 by 24 mat

• Folded size: 23.6 by 11.8 inches (60 by 30 cm), in three panels. It stands up on its end by itself

• The fold: Two fold lines, each cut as a wave so the panels lock together and sit flush, with no straight groove for a blade to drop into

• Surface: Self-healing, with a printed grid and 30, 45, and 60 degree angle lines

• Backing: Non-slip, so it stays put on the table

• Good to know: Open it fully and let it settle flat before you cut. Wipe clean with a damp cloth

2. Extra Large Wool Pressing Mat, 17 by 24 inches

• Size: 17 by 24 inches, the long version of the standard mat

• Material: 100% natural felted New Zealand wool, naturally fire-resistant

• How it helps: The dense wool holds the iron's heat and pushes it back through the fabric, so seams come out crisp from both sides

• Includes: A clear vinyl storage pouch

• Good to know: Steam can pass through the mat, so protect wood or delicate surfaces underneath

1. Open the Tri-Fold mat fully and let it settle flat, then use it to lay out and cut your fabric in long, single passes.

2. Set the wool pressing mat nearby on a firm surface for pressing as you sew.

3. Press each seam and block on the wool mat. The dense wool sends the heat back through the fabric for a crisp finish.

4. When you are finished cutting, fold the big mat into three panels and stand it on a shelf.

5. Air the wool mat after use, and keep it off wood or delicate surfaces where steam could pass through.

6. Wipe the cutting mat with a damp cloth, and store the wool mat in its vinyl pouch.
