I have 2 Olfa rotary mats too, large and small. They are on my top 5 list of "can't live without" tools. I love them and use them a LOT!

JoAnn's having 40-50% off mats and cutting tools too now. I rarely go there, but needed polyfill for my son and some "welcome to sewing" gifts to a gal at work who inherited a Bernina 830 Record and is teaching herself home dec sewing. So I got her a mat, ruler, and cutter set, chacoliner and some Schmetz needles for her Bernie. I also got a set of 4 Omnigrid square rulers for myself for about $17. Score!

She came to get me from work when my car broke down on the way in. I'm so impressed that she's teaching herself with YouTube tutorials. A new generation. I'd rather pay for lessons on my new old Bernina 930. But was planning on getting her a cutting set, and the fab sale was there. Perfect timing. And my own Omnigrid collection more than doubled.
