Brooklyn Revolver, because she's from Brooklyn and it revolves.

I think the lazy susan idea is a great one. I did get a rotating mat, however, and I do like it.

Have you asked Joann's if they will do a military discount? I think the one in Knoxville TN does.

Looks like I may be the only one out there, but I don't like the fact that the mat is moving. I've had it slip too many times when I cut. I prefer to use a small mat that I can physically turn, but not is on a rotating system like the Brooklyn Revolver.

I recently replaced my rotating 13" cutting mat which sat to the left of my machine with a new 12". The new one works much better since I literally wore the other one out BUT I miss that inch!

The round one comes from Pat Yamin at Come Quilt with Me; the Brooklyn Revolver. Pat doesn't have a store but does alot of big shows and you can order directly from her web site.

I have one & as ickhy as it works, you don't want to know what I call it! I was so amped to get it (it seems like such a great idea) but it rocks & is hard to cut on. I don't even know where it is now... I just went back to a smaller mat on top of a larger one... Just my thoughts...
