Scrapbook supplies...now, why didn't I think of that????!!!! The Sew Easy mat I saw online has scalloped edges, not good for tiny trimming but there are others. I have the cut & press and it is too thick--I tried. Now the trick is to find the small mat here in Switzerland.
Thanks for reminding me to think outside the quilting box.

Libbi, I have the June Tailor cut and press. I bought it in US because it was a good value for money at the time, but didn't use it for several years. Now I'm doing the TQS BOM it is wonderful when trimming and pressing small blocks. DH has a cheap cutting made for making his model aircraft. I think it may be abit harder than our quilting mats though. It's approximately 8x11 inches. THis type of mat can be found over here in general craft stores or often hardware for about $7.50-8.
I hope that you find what you want.

Has anyone heard of or seen a tiny cutting mat, maybe 6" x 12"? It would go with my teeny tiny rotary cutter that is part of my Bernina Swiss knife sewer's model. As I piece in the hoop or applique, there are times I need to trim 1/4" seams. My most unfavorite thing about this technique is taking the hoop off the machine to trim especially when I could move the hoop to the side and easily trim with a bit of a mat. Sounds a bit nuts but it would work.
