This may seem to be a dumb question to all of you who love your rotary mats, but isn't it just as easy to turn a small mat and save the money to spend on more fabric? I am really open minded but that is why I haven't bought one. Do they really make it that much easier?

If you have an old piece of plywood around, a new quality lazy susan could be screwed to the bottom at a considerable savings over the fancy ones.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As a sometimes wood worker, I would suggest that you use hardboard,
since sometimes raw plywood bleeds. Not all, but any thing that ruins the
look of your carefully sewn quilts, etc, will drive you to madness!!!
Or, carefully sand the plywood down, several times till it is smooth enough
so that even a piece of panty hose dragged over it will not catch.
I wouldn't paint or stain it, that might open another can of worms!!

I have the Brookly revolver, I have loved using it. This was before it had the pressing mat on the reverse side. Can't afford a new one, and the top is so old it is not any good any more.:(
