Large mat and ruler for OBWs?
#1
Hi all - I've been googling trying to find a cutting mat with a grid in inches (!) that is around 42" x 24" and a ruler of 42" ish for cutting WOF strips of fabric, particularly when making One Block Wonders. All I can find are either blank mats at 60" or mats at 70" (too big!) that are in fact two joined together.
Does anyone have such a mat/ruler set up and if so what brand is it? I plan to buy it in the UK when I go over for Christmas, so if I knew a brand I could hopefully find a supplier there. I've got not a hope in heck of finding it here in France or in Holland - all metric anyway. :shock:

Lace - I'll let you know their response.
Gai - yes please, I'd like to see that. I guess that would be a solution but you would lose some triangles.
Thanks for the other responses, I can find the 36" x 24" no problem, it was the WOF size that I was looking for. :D

Alvin say they're not available outside the US. I found another supplier who'd ship here from the US but they wanted 116 USd just for shipping. :shock:
However, Lace, I found a UK supplier of large mats here http://www.rotatrim.co.uk/printable.php?product_code=2
Thanks everyone, for your help. :D

JoAnn's and Hancock's both have a package of 3 large(at least 24X36 each one) that have connector things to put them together. One of these days I'd like to get a set. I don't know if you're looking for something this big.

I don't know if this can be helpful since it's in the U.S...but they do exist. I have a very large gridded cutting mat that fits my entire table. I needed to trim it down just a tiny bit to fit perfectly (these mats do cut with circular saw).
I bought mine here:
