Turns out that putting a cutting mat on top of the ironing table - even though the ironing surface is just two layers of Warm and Natural plus a layer of muslin - makes it soft. I can do little stuff on it but when I need to cut a new project I undo the binder clips (!!! love office supplies!) holding the ironing pad to the table, and fold it to the left so I have a 36" x 24" hard surface for my mat.
I also worry that the soft surface for cutting will result in poor cuts or wearing out either the cutter or the mat.
That's why my son and my DH call it the 'quilting lab'!
