Rotating Cutting Mat
#41
I have a 16" x 22". My cutting mat sits down into the frame also. I wish it was smaller. This size takes up a lot of room to use when turning it. I may have to get a smaller one. I don't use mine very often.

I wouldn't purchase the one at Walmart either, if they have any left. You can't use the backside. Better to use the 50% or 40% off coupons at Michaels or JoAnne Fabrics for the very same item. I have 2 Olfa Brand 18"X24" rotary cutting mats, both purchased with coupons. You can put them together side by side or end to end to really measure and cut out larger projects. Still use my smaller 12" X 18" Duraheal Brand for smaller projects like cutting out small squares or creating potholder hot pads. Will be sewing today, its too hot to go outside. from, Debbie, Phoenix, AZ

If you can find the older heavy wooden lazy susans it would work great. Keep an eye out at thrift stores and yard sales. The newer plastic ones will tip at the ends when cutting off center. I tired making one with the plastic turntable. It wasn't sturdy enough.[/quote]

My DH bought me a cutting table, mat and dress form In 1984 right after I got my Bernina. Never have used the dress form, but praying that my table will last till I die. Like Salem Mats better than any, but wish that Olfa would make one to fit my table.
