From Don-isewman--increased my cutting mat in length
I bought a new cutting mat, a little time back. It has somewhat some wear, now since I've used it. I have a couple other quilting mats, that I have put away. Don't use at all. I took 1 of the mats, and cut it in 1/2. I took the 1/2 mat, and taped it to the other cutting mat. Now I have a cutting mat roughly 18 x 37 1/2". Has been working out great for me now. Don-isewman
