White rotary cutting board
I live in the UK and I can't find anywhere that sells the white rotary cutting boards with red measurement markings.
Can anyone give me some information on the make, and if any fellow Brits have found a source for them in the UK please? I am having difficulty as I am maturing (you know what I mean!) using dark fabrics on a green background. I sometimes miss the accurate alignment needed with the ruler due to the lack of contrast. Thanks in advance. |

The white boards will dull your blades faster.

I think you would be happier with a self healing mat. As for the grid lines,I never use the marks on the board for cutting. I only use my rulers.
|
Do what I do-I flip my green one over to the gray side.
|
The old white one I have says Dritz on it. It was given to me so I have no idea how old it is, or if it was any good.
|
I love my Martelli mat. It is different colors on the two sides. So I always have the contrast.
|
My fiskars mat has a light color on the backside.
|
Cotton patch has the june tailor mat and ironing board reversible mat which is light blue, but its onky 10x10, like livelylady, I don't use the lines on my board, apart from the border edge one, I use my rulers. I haven't seen any whit mats at any of the UK sites or in any of the shops.

Thank you all for your in put.
I rarely use the grid either, but it's more the background colour I want to change. Looking through a ruler onto dark fabric when lining up the edge to cut is the problem I am encountering.I have the grey cut and press flip type board but it's too small. The surface on that is very hard too. The Martelli one looks the best on line. I have found only the medium size one that available in the UK. I will keep looking and thanks again for your help, I appreciate it. |
