they is no hope at my house with four boys and husband. I have painted my tool pruple in hopes they would not use them. that do not work. I now have 3 cutting mats one with paint on it, one that they left in the car in the sun [will never lay flat again] one that is cracked. they can't seam to use the some one. and my quilting stiaecl now look so bad it good thing I'm the only one to use them. But we have some of the best looking RC airplains you have even seen.
