Can you do the same thing with the mats for the Accuquilt Go Baby????

Eleanor Burns (I think) suggested using one of those nylon net scrubbers to get out all those left over pieces of stuff in your cutting mat. I've never tried the water deal to soak my mat. Never heard of it before. I can soak it in the bathtub but I have no place to let it dry. Mine's about 7 or 8 years old and still in pretty good shape.

All I have to do is set it outside overnight...soaked!!!

I love the idea of the soaking the mat. I have two and the older one I was going to throw away b/c I couldn't get all of the lint out of the mat. Thanks for such good comments all.

I always use the wrong side of my mat if I have to work with items that are not fabric. Then keep the good side for my fabric only.
And I never knew that either. Soon as it gets warm enough, I'll do mine when the weather is warmer. I can lay it out on the deck on my table out there where it's flat. I have been learning so much here. So glad I found this group. |
Thanks, I did not know this.
