I am thinking of buying a rotating cutting mat. Joann's has a 50% off coupon I could use. I would appreciate your comments on the Olfa 12x12 for roughly $23.00, the Olfa17x17 for $40.00 or the Fiskars 14x14 for $25.00 after using the coupon. Would love to hear from anyone using either of these mats. I am going to use it for quilting.
Thanks Linda |
I would suggest going much bigger unless you already have a big one.

Do you think the 14x14 rotating mat would be big enough?

I have the 12x12. I wish I would have bought the larger one.

I have the Olfa 17x17, really comes in handy.

Fiskers mats do not have a long life, I'd stick with the Olfa. I have both the small and large rotating mats, I use the large one constantly. I use the small one too, but when you are dealing with large and small size pieces, the large mat works for both.
Also, when using the rotating mat, I put a piece of non skid shelf liner under it so it doesn't slide around when I'm cutting. |
The other options include:
Just plain 'ol putting a smaller mat on top of a larger mat ... the smaller mat will turn easily enough. I still use my Brooklyn Revolver from years ago. ali |
