My cutting table is large with four large mats, 2x2 on top.
Gives me lots of options, whether cutting yardage or small pieces.
Sometimes it's too big, as it's too easy to have a pile of clutter!!
I have some smaller mats (assorted sizes) that I set on top,
when I want the benefits of a rotating mat.
Cut. Turn the mat. Cut. Turn the mat. And so on!
My rotating mat hack works for me!! ...
And has kept me from having another seldom used thing in my quilting room!
