MSQC/Martinelli mat?
Just watched the new tute, "kindred pinwheels" and Jenny was using a rotating mat by Martinelli. It looked sturdy. I have all the sizes from whomever makes those square rotating ones, and really am not always happy with their performance....So, I thought I'd look into this. Well, did a search, and Walmart carried, but has to be ordered and delivered to store/home for $27.11. At Martinelli website price is $49.99 +s&h.....I think I know where I'm going to order one from! BTW! Anyone here have, do you like?

Have the fiskar and the olfa, and both have a tendency to " undo" themselves..like that dig-out isn't deep enough to keep them locked together. I have a really old gray , round on a ball bearing base, but it sort of dips in the center...
I did order the Martinelli from Walmart site, should be delivered to my local store by Feb 1, no shipping charge...can't beat that. Let's hope I don't get an email stating not available...has happened before......

Check out "Matilda's Own"....it's a round cutting turntable also. I bought mine through Walmart a few months ago and had it shipped to me. I love this one as it turns freely and has the self healing mat. Great to use on a small folding table by my machine.

I have the Martelli turn table and LOVE it. Tried the green square ones, those were complete duds. Martelli does a red line sale every month where one item from their catalog will be deeply discounted; that is where I got mine. A couple of times a year, the sale is good for anything in their catalog. Their mats are fantastic. Pricey, but so much nicer than the Olfas. It's hard to describe, they feel almost padded when cutting. They can be bent, don't break in the cold (DH dropped a large green one that had been in the car and it cracked) and can be ironed on. I've tried it - it's true.
