I found a wonderful new rotating cutting mat at the Jacksonville quilt show a couple of weeks ago. It is made by Bebas Enterprises on Gainesville, GA 770-712-5000. Not affiliated by VERY satisfied with it. I did get the largest rotating cutting mat, but I did see smaller versions as well. The mat on top is replaceable and this mat is the thickest cutting mat I have ever seen!

Hmm...I like that it is larger than most I have seen..I have a 14" one by Fiskars...do you mind if I ask price? Or price range? I did a quick google search, and didn't find it...
Thanks,
Kif

Not at all - mine was $74.85, but it is really stable and if the mat wears out I can just replace it as there is a lip on the corners that holds the mat in place. I have had 3 different rotating mats and found that they weren't stable, hard to rotate and too small for some of the larger blocks. I think their smaller rotating mats were in the $30 range, but I really didn't look because I was looking for BIG!

I got the smallest one at the Michigan show last week,her show special price was $30. VERY well made. I don't like the mat itself, it's that white stuff, but i just put one of my own on it. Use it every day. I already have a larger one, different brand. I don't know how folks can cut without one especially stuff like twisters.

I have a 17x17 Olfa rotating mat which I love. That being said, I will definitely be saving up for this one. The size is great!

I love using jewel tones with black on most of my quilts and it is actually easier to see the edges of my material against the white then the green of my other mats! If I was cutting white or light material, I would probably put my 18x24 green Olfa mat on it.

I have to agree I love this mat! It's the same feel as the regular mat I use and it's not as thick and bulky as other spinning mats. I had a June Tailor one that I disliked, the mat was to hard and thin that I could feel the spinner plate underneath as I cut.

Your mat looks thick, do you feel the spinner underneath?

No, there is a base of plexiglass (or acrylic) that the mat sits on. It't constructed much differently from the June Taylor one.

Their largest mat is actually less expensive then others of the same size and it is really nice to have on a large table.
