    I got a nice wood turn table at a yard sale and had an old cutting mat so I cut the old mat to fit the turn table and glued that on. I love it. I use it all the time. I only spent $2 for it.

    I have the smaller one. It sits right beside my machine for instant cutting/square ups. Love it!!

    I have one, I think it is 17". I use it when I have to square up blocks, etc.

    For those that don't have one, here's a good (excellent) substitute that I learned from Harriet Hargrave at one of her workshops: Take a small cutting mat and lay it on a larger cutting mat - this small mat rotates fine!!

    I bought one years ago at "Minnesota Fabrics" (anyone remember them?) and I have only used it once. I forgot I had it to be honest. I find it easier to just turn my mat when necessary.

    I bought one at JoAnn's & found it to be flimsy & the top would fall off the base. Guess I didn't know what to expect. I took it back. I have since bought another one but haven't used it yet. Thought it would be great for PPing or sm. applique. Wish I'd known about the ballbearing ones.

    I have both the large and small mat. Great for trimming up blocks, and "fussy" cuts.

    I love my rotating mats--I havew the small one and the larger one. They are great for cutting scraps! Enjoy yours.

    I use a lazy susan and put my June Tailor square mat on top.
