On Fons and Proter today a MN quilter makes templates.
She glued her paper template to the old mat and cut the template out. I thought it was clever.

These are clever ideas. I didn't even watch Fons and Porter today. I love DVR I'll watch it later. Thanks. :thumbup:

Hi everybody, I too ended up with warped cutting mats when we moved 7 years ago. But someone told me to lay it outside on my driveway when the sun was out. Sure enough, it heated up and was flat again. Then, I took it inside and put it on my cutting table and left it over night. Next day, I could put it away "properly". This saved all my cutting mats. You might try it and see if it works for you.

another great idea - thanks

Great ideas here - glad you asked the question.

pvquilter, We got some junk mail that had some info for Macular Degeneration and it was on an 8 x 11 piece of plastic. I cut it up to make a bottom for my new purse I made. A week later my husband was looking for that information...OOOPS! I had to order him another one online! My bad.

Old mats are great for putting under your quilt tops and using basting gun to baste.
