It IS expensive and really handy. I like it for going to class when room is usually cramped and it is so nice to have. I seem to use the larger size more, but it was cheaper to buy the two together than separately - so I feel for that marketing strategy hook, line and sinker :)

My father made 24" rotary cutting mats for my mother and me. I almost hate to use the mat because he put so much time and love into the project, but he keeps telling me that the mat can be replaced.
I attached pictures just to share how wonderful he is. There is a handle to carry it, and mom made protective bags so we could take them to quilting retreats! |
What a gift of love your dad gave you, LB, as you make gifts of love for others. What a truly special bond for the three of you.

I just bought a Fiskars 14" x 14" at Walmart. They are closing down the fabric dept so I grabbed it for $9.00. Now I wished I had grabbed the other one too. I don't know what I'd do with both but it was a SALE. I find something on sale I go crazy.

First of all it looks very large, and second it's on it's own little feet it seems. What do you place it on, or is it on a stand of some kind? Wow, I love it! |

I made my own. I had a mat with a bad tear in one corner. I also had a large plastic lazy susan. I traced the upside down lazy susan to size the mat into a circle. Then I just glued the mat to the top of the lazy susan. Works great.

My husband built a workspace in the spare room closet with a dresser big enough to put the mat on. I will clean it up this weekend and post a picture!!

My DH built a sewing space in the spare room closet with a dresser big enough for the mat and a large ruler holder. (I will clean it up this weekend and take a picture!) |
