Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Please help! Brain has come up with zero! I was looking for something else in sewing cave and pulled three flexible cutting (plastic) mats, that I know I bought at $ store from a suggestion by someone here, BUT...what are these for!!!! I should have marked the packages they came in...to remind me...but I didn't....can someone here fill in my blank??????? Thanx
I have used them to make templates.
I use mine all the time in the kitchen for cutting up stuff!
They are also good for when I need to cut a small piece of fabric. I can grab one quick.

sometimes people use them instead of the Supreme Slider. templates would also be a thought.
Do you make bags? Maybe as the bottom of a bag instead of timtex (or whatever it is called)?
I buy cheap kitchen mats, which are thin and flexible and cut up to make strong bag bottoms. Hope I'm talking about same as LoriEl.Originally Posted by LoriEl
Finished is better than a UFO
That is why i buy them! I cover them with scraps of fusible fleece ( dont iron it!) then cover it with fabric. Works great as a purse bottom. I have a separate rirary just fir cutting non fabric items. Be very careful cutting these plastic sheets!

Are they the kind that don't stick to anything, so you can do applique with glue sticks on them?
I have used them for template plastic and if they are the thin kind...I use them in making my card holder wallets. The sewing machine will sew through it if you are careful and it makes a nice stiff holder.
Use them for under e r your machine to keep it from moving around when sewing.
