I have signed up for a quilting class which I am looking forward to beginning next Monday. However, one of the items on the supply list is a 18" x 24" cutting mat. My question is: Is there an easy way to transport the large mat? I have one but it will certainly not be easy to take with me.

I made a large tote bag for mine, with a pocket on the outside, I teach sewing workshops and it makes it real handy to carry along...

I've used a large canvas tote or I have a padded pressing surface that size (June Tailor) and have "glued" a cutting mat to the back side with double-faced carpet tape. The ironing pad has a canvas handle so I can carry both at once.

I have a large tote that actually fits my 24 x 36 mat.

Just make sure however you transport it, that it remains perfectly flat, and it does not get hot :wink:

FYI Just REMEMBER DON"T leave it in your car when you go home.
It WILL warp in the heat.
