Thanks for all the tips. I may ask about the cardboard box next time I'm at my local fabric store.

Space is at a premium at my place. I just finished re-conquering the craft room so I don't want to refill the space I just got back....

OK, so "pet screen" is a secret or what??? {{{chuckle}}} Come on..............tell us, tell us, tell us.

I am pretty sure that pet screen is a fiberglass screen. If it's what I think then you can buy it at Home Depot or Lowes. It is sold by the roll in the window screen department. It come in black or grey. I use it to make beach bags. It's easy to sew on.

Lilaciris, That ruler organizer is very clever. It looks like a bunch of us want the directions. Would you share, please?

I just found pet screen online at fabricdepot.com. It is 54" wide and comes in many colors (blue, yellow, orange, lt. green, spruce green, etc) It sells for $18.99 per yard.

I have found that the best place to store my large cutting mat is under an area rug on a hard surface floor.

could you slip it under your mattress? The kitties couldn't get to it there

I slip mine under the sofa.

On the floor under the sofa, not under the cushions! lol

Thank you, OG. I'll look for it the next time I'm in there. They already think I'm nuts. I get a lot of my cake decorating "supplies" there. The last time I was in there I bought high density paint rollers to smooth icing.

:lol: The guy asks, "You're going to do what?" :lol:
So now I'm gonna ask for pet screen to make a cutting board and ruler tote. Can't wait to see his face.
