Pam - There was something on the old board before they made this new and improved quilting board, and for some reason it didn't seem to come over into my saved items. But after you rinse it, sort of dry it off, let it dry flat. I just wait until it feel dry, the mat doesn't absorb water.
Sunlite, will try the other side, never thought of that since the surface feels so different. You have been so quiet this train ride, hope you are feeling well.
