Omnigrid Cutting Mat 18" x 24"

For larger fabric pieces
Choose a larger surface when your fabric pieces do not fit a smaller mat.14 Choose the Omnigrid 24 by 36 inch mat when your fabric needs more room than an 18 by 24 inch surface.14
For small spaces and quick trims at the machine
For trimming beside the machine, choose a mat that fits your available space.8 Choose the Omnigrid 9WG for quick trims that fit its compact 5.5 by 8.5 inch surface.8
For squaring blocks without lifting the fabric
For squaring blocks, a rotating mat brings each edge toward the blade.7 Choose the Omnigrid 360 Rotating 14 inch mat when your whole block fits within its round cutting area. The 14-inch measurement is its diameter, so check that the corners stay on the mat.7
For two cutting surfaces in one mat
Choose a mat that accepts cuts on both faces when you want a gridded surface and a plain reverse.2 The Omnigrid 18 by 24 inch mat lets you cut on either side, including its unmarked gray reverse.12
