Using the cut side of Cut N Press allows me to cut my quilting squares, then turn to stitch the squares together on my sewing machine, then turn back to flip the Cut and Press over to press the seams. I can do all of these activities while sitting close to my machine and my Cut n Press using my small iron. Before I purchased it I had to cut at my cutting board, then walk to the sewing machine, then get up and walk to the other room to press and then come back to stitch more. This tool has saved me so much time and it is the right size for my table and projects. I recommend you purchase this product whether you sew or quilt or embroider.
