We absolutely adore the Sew Magnetic Cutting System from SewTites! It's super accurate, ergonomic, and comes in both right-handed and left-handed versions. Say goodbye to shoulder pain and hand cramps! The powerful magnets keep everything in place, making cutting a breeze. There will be no more slipping or shifting of tricky fabrics. We love how it handles our Hand Dyed Wool beautifully. Get ready to fall in love with this amazing system and enjoy every moment of your sewing projects!


The Dream Team

The Sew Magnetic Cutting System includes a mat, ruler, and boosters that work together perfectly. Let's explore why this trio makes cutting a dream!


About the Mat


The mat is a 20 x 24" double-sided, 7-layer self-healing magnetic cutting mat. One side is dark grey with white lines, while the other is light grey with black lines, allowing you to choose which side helps you see best!

There are 1/2" and 1" numbers and lines with 1/8" and 1/4" markings throughout the mat too.

Unlike many other cutting mats out there, a full fat quarter of fabric will fit on the Sew Magnetic Cutting System's 20" x 24" mat!


About the Ruler

The magnetic ruler is a 6.5" x 24" acrylic wonder! You’ll find 1/2" numbers in turquoise boxes, 1" numbers in black boxes, plus this ruler also has ⅛” and ¼” markings and handy guides for 30°, 45°, and 60° angles.

Designed to be your cutting buddy, the ruler can be used right-side-up for those full-inch snips, or flip it 180° for precision half-inch magic! The magnets are like tiny superheroes, keeping your project steady yet light enough to allow you to easily shift the ruler as needed. Plus, with beveled edges on the short ends, you can scoop it up and move it with ease!

Best of all, just a gentle touch holds everything in place, making cutting more ergonomic and enjoyable than ever! Get ready to slice and dice like never before!


About the Boosters

Twelve SewTites Boosters come with the Sew Magnetic Cutting System, and they are bonafide magnetic magic! The boosters snap onto the magnets in the ruler and amplify its hold. They are the extra muscle that makes cutting even the thickest fabrics feel like slicing through butter.

You can also use the Boosters – or any other SewTites magnets – to hold down paper patterns, acrylic templates, and whatever else you can think of without pins.

Need more boosters? We have packs of 6 of these magnetic wonders, so you can boost your booster stash!


Easy to Store

Another bonus to the cutting system is that it comes in a reusable box with a handle. If you're a quilter or sewist who cuts on your kitchen table or other multi-use surface, you'll also be able to keep the box to store the system in when it's not in use – as well as to tote it to retreats and classes.


Meet the Cutting System's Sister:
The Sew Magnetic Rotating Cutting Mat

Easily trim small pieces with the Sew Magnetic 11" Rotating Self-Healing Cutting Mat! Pair it with SewTites Boosters and the Sew Magnetic 6-1/2in x 6-1/2in Ruler, which comes in both a right-handed and a left-handed version. This amazing self-healing magnetic mat will keep your fabric and templates secure while you cut and rotate. No more realigning after each turn – we love how smooth the mat rotates with just a touch, and the non-slip back keeps it safely in place. It's the perfect companion for sewing and crafting in small spaces or while traveling. The grid includes whole 1" numbers, 1/8", 1/4", and 1/2" grid lines, plus 30°, 45°, and 60° angle lines for easy, accurate measurements.


Perfect for Pieced Projects


This magnetic rotating mat is a game changer when it comes to English Paper Piecing and all other projects that require many cuts of smaller pieces of fabric!
