    Default Finally, Cutting mats for Lefties & Righties both!

    Just got my delivery from Red Rock Threads, love my new mats! Light & dark sides and best of all they are numbered both ways so as a Lefty I don't have to count backwards anymore. When my right handed sister or friends come to sew they won't have to count backwards when cutting either. No smell, self healing, love them!

    Having adapted all my life, sometimes it is hard for me to adapt to products making it easier for me to adapt ;-) Time to got to bed ;-)

    I wanted those as soon as I got the email about them! Did they ship them flat? Just curious.

    Yes, Katier825, they shipped them flat by UPS, they arrived in perfect condition.

    DebraK- very easy to use, just means I skip the math step of counting inch squares to be sure I'm cutting accurately because I always wanted to doublecheck when I was counting backwards. Now I can put my cut edge on the 10 inch line for example, and line up my ruler on the 20 inch line for a 10 inch piece or whatever I need to cut.

    Be sure to order them in cooler weather. I order a mat from JAF and in the summer heat, it warped because UPS stops at my place at the end of the day.

    Heed ManiacQuilter's advice - I didn't even think about that and I'm in central west coast FL! Well good thing God helps those too scatterbrained to help themselves!

    I have the 18 x 24 one and it's great for taking to classes. On my big mat at home I used a sharpie to add the left counting numbers. You don't have to be left handed to get the benefit from this. I use it all the time.
