So what do you do with an old used cutting mat?
My cutting table is across the room from my machine so when I have cut a new block that I haven't done before and want to have all the parts in the right place !! I lay the block out on one of my smaller cutting mats and just carry the whole thing over to my machine and I don't get things mixed up!
