Sew Easy Cutting Mat 5"x 17" inch A7 Double Sided | Crafts & Sewing - 020530

The Sew Easy A7 Cutting Mat is a specialist narrow-format cutting surface designed for the precise, elongated cuts that a standard square or rectangle mat handles less efficiently. At just 5" x 17", it is perfectly proportioned for cutting binding strips, long sashing pieces, ribbon and trim, and any task where a narrow, dedicated cutting surface gives you better control and accuracy than positioning a large mat for a small job.

BUILT FOR STRIP WORK AND NARROW CUTS The 17" length and 5" width make this mat a natural fit for some of the most repetitive cutting tasks in quilting — particularly binding. Binding strips are typically cut at 2.5" wide, and the 5" width of this mat comfortably accommodates a folded strip with room for the ruler alongside it. It is also ideal for cutting ribbon, elastic, interfacing strips, fabric trims and any long narrow piece where a small, focused mat gives you a cleaner working surface than pulling out a full-size board.

THE COMPACT CUTTING COMPANION Beyond strip work, the A7's slim profile makes it genuinely useful as a secondary mat — kept beside the sewing machine or pressing station for quick cuts mid-project, without the need to move to the main cutting table. Its compact size means it can sit on the corner of a sewing table, tuck into a project bag or travel easily to workshops and retreats. It is the mat you reach for when a quick, precise cut is all you need.
