I thought of making a cover for it, but I'm always flipping it over and using the cutting side. I love having the convience of both sides by my sewing machine. I had thought of using pins and pinning something to the pressing side. I'd also thought of ironing on some interfacing on that side. If it is thin, one could see the lines through it. I'm still wanting other suggestions before I do it. It sounds as if I'm not the only one with this problem. I'll definately keep the grungy one by my machine for the daily use, but will try to keep the other one clean for classes, etc, at least for now.
