Rotating cutting mat - should I?
About 15ish years ago, everything I tried to sew was not working so I decided I was done. Done. Sewing. Forever.
And, I gave most of my tools, mats, fabric, sewing cabinet (I did keep my sewing machines, whew!) to a young girl (teenager) who was starting to sew. (I found out later she had lost interest and all that was now gone, but I've gotten over it.)
Anyway, stupid move aside, over the last few years I've been sewing again, slowly replenishing useful tools and keeping my stash to an amount that fits into a bin and a half.
I've only made a few quilts in the past, as most of my sewing was garment and cloth doll/clothing related, so now I have all these smaller cuts of fabric, a yard of less, mostly juvenile prints, and I was thinking maybe I should make some crib or baby quilts to use it up and move on to something else, unless I find I LOVE making quilts.
Some YouTube videos show the rotating mat (which I also used to have) but I can't remember if it was useful, or if I regularly used it. It's on sale at JoAnn (actually same price as Amazon) so I'm debating . . . do I want to spend the $40 for it or just rotate my cutting mat a few hundred times.
So, if any of you have one, please share your opinions and experiences. Thanks!
