I also have an Olfa rotating mat and dearly wish I had bought the larger one. Mine is only 12 1/2 inches square.
This sounds horrible but I would love for Santa to find DH a part time job. He decided to retire about 3 months ago and I was definitely not ready to have him round the house 24/7. He keeps trying to be helpful--which I appreciate--but usually ends up either getting in my way and making me feel guilty for being frustrated with his 'help'. Ok whining finished.
I had to look up Needle Nannies. Interesting.

I guess I already fulfilled my wish list yesterday at an estate sale. I got a 1948 Featherweight with the "card table"..the machine and case are pristine! so much so that it looks as if it's never been out of the case, and for some readon, included 2 foot controls. $200.00 for all. Thank you, Santa--I must have been a very good girl this year (so far!)

I know what you mean about your husband being underfoot since he retired. My husband is someone who can't sit still, so he always has to be busy. Luckily, he found something that keeps him occupied. What's that old saying, "I married him for better or worse, but not for lunch."

The ruler you are referring to is made by June Taylor. I have had one for years I don't know if Joann's still carry it but that's where I bought the one I have. Mine has slots for different size strips but Eleanor has the 2 1/2 inch one. I bought mine using a coupon.

I made my own rotating mat about 5 or 6 years ago, all I did was use a lazy Susan and a cutting mat that had warped. I put it to good use when Jenny Doan came out with the disappearing blocks. Works like a charm and I think it's about 15 inches round. I think the amounts they want for some of these things are crazy unless you have no concerns about money. I would rather spend on fabric or threads.
