CutterPillar currently offers four Glow Light Boards to fit different crafting needs:

• Glow Mini (10" x 13") — Compact and portable, with 4 brightness levels and a rechargeable battery. Great for smaller workspaces and on-the-go crafting.
• Glow Classic (13" x 19") — Plug-in powered with 4 adjustable LED brightness levels. A reliable, always-ready light source for your craft table.
• Glow Premium II (13" x 19") — Our most advanced mid-size board. Rechargeable battery with up to 4 hours of cord-free crafting, adjustable LED brightness, and a scratch-resistant surface.
• Glow Ultra (19" x 26") — Our largest board. Big enough to lay out two 12" x 12" papers or a full fat quarter. Four brightness levels with plug-in power.

All Glow boards come with a translucent, non-slip, self-healing Dual Grip cutting mat.

Both boards are 13" x 19" with adjustable LED brightness. The key difference is power. The Glow Classic plugs into a power source for consistent, uninterrupted light. The Glow Premium II has a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery that gives you up to 4 hours of cord-free crafting, making it perfect for retreats, classes, and crafting away from an outlet. The Premium II also charges via USB-C.

Yes. The Glow Mini includes a built-in rechargeable battery, just like the Glow Premium II. It is compact enough for small spaces while still giving you 4 levels of LED brightness.

The Glow boards are designed for any project where better visibility makes a difference. Quilters love them for tracing patterns, paper piecing, fussy cutting, and applique work. They are also ideal for sketching, coloring, stamping, diamond painting, embroidery tracing, and vinyl weeding. The bright, even LED light lets you see through fabrics and papers clearly, so you can align and cut with more confidence.

Yes. All Glow boards are compatible with CutterPillar magnetic accessories (sold separately). You can use mounting magnets and plates to hold fabric, patterns, and templates securely in place while you work.

No. The LED technology stays cool to the touch, even during extended crafting sessions. You can work comfortably for hours without the surface heating up.

CutterPillar offers size-specific totes for safe storage and transport:

• Glow Mini Tote — fits the Glow Mini (10" x 13")
• Glow Premium and Classic Tote — fits both the Glow Classic and Glow Premium II (13" x 19")
• Glow Ultra Tote — fits the Glow Ultra (19" x 26")

Each tote is made from sturdy padded nylon with a full zipper, outer pocket, and comfortable handles.

The Flex Light is a cordless, rechargeable LED task light designed for sewing machines, craft tables, and anywhere you need focused, adjustable brightness. It features a flexible gooseneck that you can bend and position exactly where you need light. It attaches magnetically and charges via USB-C.

The Flex Light offers 3 levels of brightness and runs for several hours on a single charge. A green power indicator lets you see how much battery life remains. When it needs charging, simply place it back in its cradle.

The Flex Accessory Kit expands how and where you can use your Flex Light. It includes multiple mounting cradles (spring-clip, magnetic, and hook-and-loop), a magnetic support mount, an adjustable neck lanyard for hands-free use, a magnifying glass attachment for detail work, and a USB charging base. These give you the flexibility to attach your light to sewing machines, craft tables, metal surfaces, or even wear it around your neck.

The Clamp Light is a focused LED light that attaches directly to your acrylic quilting rulers. It illuminates cutting lines right where you need to see them, making ruler work more precise and reducing eye strain during detailed cutting.

CutterPillar offers several mat and surface options:

• Dual Grip Translucent Cutting Mat — Included with all Glow boards. Non-slip, self-healing, and translucent so light passes through for tracing and alignment.
• Tempered Glass Crafting Board (12" x 16") — 20 times harder than regular glass. Heat-resistant, stain-proof, and pairs perfectly with the Glow boards. Ideal for pressing, applique, and messy crafts. Anything that does not wash off can be scraped clean with a razor.

Flip and Fold 48 (36" x 48") — The industry's first portable, storable, and sustainable cutting mat. Folds down to 11" x 17" for easy transport and storage. Made from eco-friendly, non-toxic TPE material that keeps your rotary blade sharper longer than PVC and resists heat warping.

Yes. The tempered glass is heat-resistant, similar to a stove top. You can press directly on it, which makes it a great companion for applique and detailed fabric work. It also resists damage from paints, inks, glue, and adhesives.

The Flip and Fold 48 is actually 5 cutting mats in 1. When fully unfolded it gives you a 36" x 48" surface, and the folding design creates multiple smaller grid sizes for different projects. Every mat panel starts its grid at zero for easy measuring.

The CutterPillar Swivel is a rotating cutting mat that sits on your work surface and spins 360 degrees. Instead of moving your fabric or your body, you rotate the mat to the angle you need. It works especially well on top of a Glow Light Board for illuminated cutting with full freedom of movement.

Attach the included self-adhesive rubber foot to the underside center of your light board. This keeps the board completely flat when the Swivel sits on top. The Swivel works best on a very flat surface, so check that your work area is level if the rotation feels uneven. Extra feet are available from cutterpillar.co if needed.

The Swivel weighs 2.6 lbs out of the package, making it easy to move around your workspace or pack for travel.

Yes. CutterPillar offers curated bundles that pair complementary products together at a better value than buying each item separately. Bundles are designed so everything works together as a complete setup, from lighting to cutting to carrying. Check the Bundles collection on cutterpillar.co for current options and savings.

Think about your typical projects and crafting habits:

• Glow Mini — Best if you work in a smaller space, travel often, or want a lightweight board for classes and retreats.
• Glow Classic — Best if you craft at a dedicated table and prefer a steady, plug-in power source without worrying about battery life.
• Glow Premium II — Best if you want the flexibility to craft with or without a cord, great for quilting retreats, classes, and moving between rooms.

Glow Ultra — Best if you regularly work with larger projects, fat quarters, or multiple 12" x 12" papers at once.
