    Favorite new quilting tool

    Just wanted to say that the best new quilting tool that I've purchased in a long time is the rotating cutting mat! I went for the 17 x 17 and just love it! Got it at JoAnne's with my 50 percent off coupon. It's pretty pricey otherwise. Just makes things much easier!

    I love the rotating mats! I have both sizes; but find I use the 17 inch most often. I'm sure I used a 50 per cent off coupon when I purchased each of them.

    I have the smaller one. It sits right beside my machine for instant cutting/square ups. Love it!!

    Don't see how you can do a twister quilt without one! If possible, get one will ball bearings.

    I have a rotating mat, but it doesn't have ball bearings. Probably wouldn't be to difficult to make a homemade one...a lot of us quilters are quite crafty when it comes to things like that. I do find it quite handy for the smaller projects and for taking to class.

    Creative clutter is better than idle neatness.
