cutting an olfa mat
Hi Quilters
I need to cut a few inches off of my olfa cutting mat. Does anyone have any tips to share before I do this - what type of saw or blade did you use? were you able to get a clean cut? Any information is much appreciated. It seems like I have seen this discussed before - but the search terms I am using are not useful. Tia Lefty |
I use tin snips to cut my mats. Easy , and a clean cut .
|
hmmm, I'd take it to Home Depot or some such place and have them cut it for me.
|
I used a pair of metal Gingher scissors. Cut through easy and smooth.

Sorry this is a new one on me why would you cut your mat?

just cut it with any scissors NIT for fabric. made smaller ones for scrapbooking and cut off broken edges

I've used tin snips, DH uses heavy duty exacto/cardboard cutter. Makes a score, bends it, and completes cut from the other side.

Hi Folks
Thanks for the input. I used my metal snips this morning and it worked easily. I needed to cut it down because I recently purchased a small gateleg table which was just a bit too narrow for my mat. Lefty - in Philly |
I just used my big scissors
