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)?

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.

If you stack your fabric laterally and don't use comic boards, they're great to put under the fabric you want and on top so its easier to remove and the other fabric stays in place. Also makes it easier to put back.
