I am in need of another cutting mat. I have tried a few brands, but as I am confined to bed, and need something that grips the fabric better (fabric doesn't slide on it) I have found that the Olfa mats work good for gripping the fabric much better than others I have tried.. However what it does lack for me is having 1/2" lines running between the 1" lines. There are many different mats I see on line that have this, but I would not want to trade Olfa's grippy surface for the additional lines.

So I guess what I am asking is, is anyone familiear with mats that provide both attributes? I can only use a 12" x 18" because it must sit on my lap on top of something esle I use for support.

I got out my 4 mats and tried them and the Zerro professional mat won hand's down. I couldn't get the fabric to slip at all. It has a half inch grid, is double-sided, and very thick. I got mine from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/ZERRO-Profess...st_sto_dp&th=1

Thank you so much for doing that Belfrybat. It was very nice of you. I may just try that one. Only thing I noticed was it does not really go up to 18", but that may not be a problem.

I think most mats are that way now. At least the ones that I have are except for the Quilt Cut system mat.
