Revolving cutting mat

FYI -- I can find them in Australia -- but they want $110 for shipping!!! So if anyone "down under" can help -- I'd be forever grateful!!!

I just learned that the manufacturer is no longer making the product.

So if you have one -- or see one in your local quilt shop -- I REALLY WANT THIS! and will reimburse you for all expenses.

It is called Matilda's Own ROUND Revolving Rotary Cutting Mat 15in (item

So if you happen to find it in stock online or in a local shop -- please let me know! Thanks!

I tried one, but didn't really get on with it, so I didn't buy one, but I do have the square one. I find I forget it revolves and turn around myself anyway. It has been useful for blocking, but nothing else rally, even fiddly appliqu=E9 pieces, which is what I bought it for.

When I needed a round one for a while, I strapped a slightly smaller one onto a lazy-susan and used that. It worked well enough for what I needed.

So, don't be too too disappointed if you can't get one. IMO they are very curate's egg (good in parts). But you may know differently.

I always wondered about those revolving mats. I tend to put a *lot* of pressure on both the hand on the ruler and the cutter. Would the mats wobble from the pressure or would I break the parts that make it revolve?

Hope you can locate one, Kate, and that it's all you hope it will be for you!

I had ordered a revolving cutting map from an online store -- and it was backordered... and backordered... and backordered.

I also have the square one.... but when I do paper piecing -- I like to have it close to the machine and the square takes a wide swath when you turn it. I borrowed one from a friend and fell in love... the footprint is nice and compact and is perfect for my paper piecing style.

The square one works -- just takes up too much space in the process.

I'm not sure what manner of weapons and choice words would be involved but could you take a square one and make it round? Both my easel for oil painting and the tabletop for mosaic assembly rotate and the ability to turn something 'in progress' is wonderful. Polly

I bought one at my LQS, and it would not turn. It was not an Olfa. I waited until I had a 50% off coupon from Hobby Lobby and bought an Olfa there. I love it. I know Jo-Anns and Hancock's have carried them.
