Why buy a new mat when my old ones still look like new? I use my mats a lot, but I take care of them.
This doesn't mean that I haven't bought new mats on sale. But in the grand scheme of things, I have only screwed up one mat and I cut the portion that didn't warp and pasted it onto a piece of plywood on one side and a ironing pad on the other. That mat, since it is only 10" x 8", goes into my sewing machine cart and since it is small, it turns as well as a circular mat, thus saving me the cost of buying one for $50+.
