I'm not a quilter...need something for miscellaneous sewing and craft products. Is it necessary to use this on a rotary mat? Thank you!

I would say most definitely. The rotary cutter is sharp and the mat is self healing. Other mats would have slices in them from the rotary cutter. You can use the rotary cutter to cut out patterns instead of scissors. I wouldn't attempt using any other cutting mat.

I believe you could probably use both items on the pastry mat. I have not done so yet, butI am a baker and your cutters and pastry wheel are essentially just cutting through the dough. Just don't exert any more pressure on the mat than is necessary.

I am thinking that your machine is not one with the longer arm, making more space for machine quilting? If that is the case, your machine would be fine. If your machine has a bigger space for quilting, I am not so sure. I have a Bernina 750, which has the longer arm making more space to the right of the needle and I don't think it would work well for that machine. will you be ordering the machine surround, it fills in the space all around your machine as it sits on the lower platform in the table. Thereby having your machine arm inside and surrounded by the table, you have to order it from the makers of the table.

This is a ROTARY tool... it takes straight shaft accessories (bits) ... If you want to use a cut off wheel, you can use a cut off wheel... if you want to use a carving bit, you can use a carving bit... if you want to use a sanding drum, you can use a sanding drum... The beauty about this ROTARY tool, is that if the bit fits in the end & tightens up properly, then that is what you can use this for. INCLUDING cutting. The extra bonus with this tool is the adjustable speeds... allows for different materials to be cut with less chance of damaging the materials beyond / surrounding the cut. As long as you have the proper bits for the job (Doesn't have to be B&D branded bits, so if you already have some rotary tool bits laying around that have the straight shaft, then you could most likely use those too) you could use this for various wood working projects ~ from cutting to carving to sanding to polishing & beyond.

Hi Christina: As this product is a self-healing mat, I believe that you would be able to use a cutting machine. I would suggest though that you get a larger size to work with such as 24 x 36. Hope this helps. Kathy

Quilting Grandma-I had to take the back mat up in order to use the stow & go in my van. It was not difficult to get the mat up, but there was no way around doing that. Fortunately for us, we do not use the option very much at all, so it is not a problem. Sorry for the lateness of the response; I had to find some time to check it out.Jim

I wouldn't. It is an excellent mat for rolling out dough and other items, but I would not cut on it. I have another rigid mat that I use for that purpose.

Sorry, I have used mine to make my quilting surface slick. It has worked well for that.Thanks Vici

I use mine quite often to press things that I don't need an ironing board for; and have never experienced any of the quilting pattern to transfer to my garments or flat pieces. Never really thought about the possibility of it; but have been using mine for a few month now and have not experienced it happening.

No. & No, This is not for machine Quilting, It is for top stitching. It can be used for top stitching close to the edge or over lapping of Fabric.

Mark I will answer your question, though as I have in the past with no avail as Amazon often will not print my very to the point, concise, answers. Perhaps they dislike my candor or honesty, regardless, like nearly all products with the name Dremel on the side, it is very overpriced and the quality is amazingly poor. Yes, this will make a groove in a small channel, but the depth you set it to will be off by 1/5 - 1/4 of an inch regardless of how much effort you put into trying to get this -typical- Dremel accessory to function as it should, as it could but does not. I fabricate polymers almost daily and stopped using Dremel products. How can you justify a 99$ rotary tool? It is a motor, with a place to attach bits... Tools do not get much more simple, I digress. In summation, if you need a beating headache and have money to waste, this is perfect for your needs. Dremel, please invest some effort in your tools, my "new" Wen was 29$ and has been running for longer than any of yours. Put the faith back into American made, stop coasting by with your name only.

Certainly. I do it all the time. You will need to flour it, of course. I make bread weekly, and I like this mat because it makes for easy clean up. After my bread is done, I just shake the floor off (I go outside and shake it onto the grass, good fertilizer) and wash the mat off. Same thing for rolling pie crust.

I do not believe this cutter could do the job. There are mat board cutters that do a great job...hand held and use an xacto blade and are economical. If you want a rotary paper cutter, get one of the Fiskar.

It has a very slightly pebbled, non-skid surface. It will put texture into your gum paste. What about one of those large craft boards used for sewing that you can use rotary cutters on?

Do you use it on the mat or are you trying to just put it in the machine. If you are using the mat it should stick on the mat and you should not have a problem

I used it on brothers bobbins. I did not read it well and they do not work for brothers. They told me at the fabric store that it takes the large bobbins. So I have two pkgs just sitting there.

Yes,I have used it to sew a quilt top together because it stitches a seam and overlocks at the same time. It is especially good for knit fabric. :-)
