Matilda's Self Healing Rotating Mat
 

Has anyone used this rotating mat and if so how do you like it. Thank you sew much for any input.

I've never seen that one before. I have the square Olfa one.

I have one of these mats. I don't use it because it is not firm enough in the middle.

Looks interesting I have the square one which is useful for squaring blocks.

I have a square one and love it!

I have always preferred Omnigrid mats since they are thicker than the Olfa. They are available only online at JAF so I just wait until the day after Thanksgiving when they usually go on sale.

I have one of the square Olfa rotating mats as well. Don't use it all that often but it is wonderful for squaring up - especially HST's!

I googled "rotating cutting mat" and found a Martelli 16" round mat for $27.19 at Staples.com. Michaels and JoAnns.com both had Olfa and Fiskars 8x8" (around $15) and 12-1/2 x 12-1/2" (around $35). I have the 8x8, and it is great for trimming HSTs and would work well for cutting pieces with small templates. Also, if weighs almost nothing and I take it to classes and retreats just in case it might come in handy. I have seen the Martellis demonstrated at the Houston Quilt Festival, and they are very well built.

Thanks for your thoughts, quilters! Clearly, there is a wide range in pricing for this item!

I have one made by Elna. It is a rectangle that a new mat will fit and be flush. The one I have in it is one Tuesday Morning has in stock now. I had an Olfa and a Fiskars in it before. It is heavy and does not tip even if I cut on the end. It's the best I've used. I bought it before the rotating mats became round or square. I have searched online and haven't found another like it.
