Default Martinelli ?

I really really want a martinelli cutting mat! Lol! i signed up for their newsletter and have been waiting not so patiently for a sale because they are expensive, IMO. Do they typically run sales the same times each year? Any thoughts on when they will have another?

I bought an an olfa mat and it def cuts well. (Smoother than my old fiskars) However, I use the lines on the mat for measuring and they aren't exact and are thick. Hence.... I really need a martinelli sale!

I have the BIG one and love it. You can even press on it without harming the mat. I am left handed and have their rotary cutters in 45 and 60mm sizes. Love love love their products!

Try Ebay. Don't know if can find the size you want, but the one I looked at was cheaper than Amazon.

It seems like they have a 50% sale once or twice a year and a 25% discount coupon more often. If you are on their mailing list you will get the emails. The 50% off seems to be around December and then sometime in the summer. I could be all wrong, but that is what I think I remember. I love, love, love my Martelli mats.

Last year there was a 50% off notions sale in late July, which included cutting mats. I looked back over the last couple years' sales, and they don't seem to have the same sales from year to year, so you just have to be patient.

I waited for quite a few months last year before ordering my Martelli mat, but it was so worth it - I love love love it!
