I store my largest cutting board under my bed and others are behind my dresser.

I have a counter top in the laundry a bit over 4' long and is open beneath. Hubby made a sliding drawer attached to the counter and the rulers of all sizes lay perfectly flat when not in use.

Works great for me.

BellaBoo..........be careful not to have your car in bright sun and have the truck get very hot.....I lost a good mat leaving it in the car......

I have some very strong magnets and I keep mine on the sides of my clothes dryer,washing machine and even the fridg. if needed.I dont have a pet so I can keep mine flat under the bed etc. Of course everyone knows they enter my house at thier own peril as I piece and make quilts all the time. lol Jolo

I got the directions from an article in a quilting magazine. Can I scan it and post it here?

Actually, no. It would break the copyright law unless you get permission from the author of article.

Great idea for the rulers! I've learned to NOT store my mats on the end...like setting them against the wall. They bend and take forever to straighten out. I hang mine on a nail on the wall...............not inventive, but workable!

I'm worried about them getting warped. Any suggestions on keeping them straight?

Oops, this is what I use to store my rulers

Sounds like you need to do some kittie training :?

I store my cutting mat when not on the table hanging from a skirt hanger. Never had a problem with it warping.
