And I'll check JoAnn's for the Connecting Threads brand.
Thanks for all your comments!!
You could put the mats together if you are onlyusing them to cut on, but there is uaually a border around them so your measurements using them is going to be off. I usually measure with my ruler but I also double check on my mat too. Also, if you use both together, make sure your lines all line up. Also, you can always ask Santa for a bigger mat! Just be specific! :lol:
As for the Connecting Threads, it isn't a brand that Joann's carries. You have to order it off their website, which I think somone included a link to. Their spools are really reasonable and even if your machine doesn't have a spool spot, you can make one using a jar and a hanger! That's what I did and it works great!
You are gonna love it here!
