Mats
Mats ensure that your materials lie securely and can be processed precisely when cutting, heat pressing or crafting. Whether small cards, foils or larger textile areas - the right mat makes the difference between frustrating slips and clean results.
What are mats suitable for?
Cutting and pressing mats are suitable for a wide range of DIY projects: precise cutting of foils, paper and cardboard, stable hold when applying iron-on designs and protection of the work surface during heat pressing. Depending on the task, choose a mat with light to strong adhesion or a heat-resistant base for press applications.
How do you store cutting mats correctly?
- Use adhesive film: Only remove the protective film before cutting to maintain the adhesive strength.
- Gentle cleaning: Remove loose lint and residue after use, clean with mild soap and lukewarm water if necessary and air dry.
- Storage: Store flat and keep covered with protective film so that the adhesive layer lasts longer.
What makes good mats special?
Good mats offer a balanced adhesive strength, an even surface and a durable finish. It is important that they are easy to clean and retain their adhesive strength over several uses. In addition, different sizes help to implement projects efficiently - from small craft projects to larger cuts.
