And I love using my smaller ones! Easy to turn around. It is all that is needed for much of my piecing and saves wear and tear on my big, new one.
(Another hint for having your mat last longer. When you don't need the mat lines for lining up your fabric, turn your fabric so you will cut on the diagonal. Sure cuts down on the ruts!)

I agree with the others. I had that happen once. I spent hours & hours trying to get it flat again (heat, cold, pressure, bathtime). It got better, but never even close to good enough for precision cutting. I bought a new one & kept the old wavy one for when I cut with my pinking blade since pinking blades also ruin mats. With a 60% off coupon at JAF, they're not terribly expensive -- though I would have rather spent that money on fabric.

This is what Olfa says: http://www.generations-quilt-pattern...tting-mat.html
Worth a try if funds get in the way. Good luck.
