Thanks for the info. I need a few things too.

Thanks. I've been looking at their ergo rotary cutter so this might be the time to go for it. What advantages and concerns for each size - the 28 mm or the 45 mm - in your opinion?

What’s the link for the sale?

I've had the 45 Martelli, actually several of them, but bought the 60 and Love them even more! I stocked up on blades earlier this year but of course I could take a LOOK..........can't hurt, LOL

Re the RoundAbout - If you don't see yourself using the ironing surface, you can order just the base and the cutting mat. That's $95 before the sale (vs $127 for the base, cutting mat and ironing surface). Although I love my RoundAbout cutting mat, I've never used the ironing surface. https://shop.martellinotions.com/cutting-matts.html

I Love their cutting mats, it's all I use now. I bought them on sale, of course. They can be rolled up, don't chip if dropped, you can iron on them (I've done it). There are a lot of informational videos on their site that give more info on the mats than the link to the actual product in the online catalog.

I only have the 45mm but if there’s a sale, I might consider another size. Thanks for the information.

Thanks for the info on the sale. I love my Martelli cutter. Need more blades. Great timing on the sale. Already bookmarked it. Thanks again.

Peace and Joy,

You iron on your Martelli mat? There is nothing on their site about being able to do that without damage. Do you iron with your iron set on cotton (hottest setting)? Does the mat warp at all? Being able to iron on it would be a huge advantage.

If you scroll down and look at the bold lettered paragraph, you will see that Martelli specifically states not to iron on your cutting mat. The heat can warp it.

Also, it does say that the cutting mat is not made of the same material as their self-healing mats. The rotary cutter will damage the mat because it is not self-healing. Mine didn't last long.
Another note: It is round. My blocks are square. Round peg...square hole. I didn't adapt well.
I now have a different brand. Self-healing. Square. Just sayin'
