Once upon a time, my Olfa rotary cutting mat was 36" x 24". It's not now. Why? I set a plate of warm pizza on it. No matter how many times I tried to remove the warp, I couldn't get it out, so I cut it in half.
It was a happy little mat and worked perfectly fine for me...
Until...{cue dramatic music} Dun, dun, dun....
...15 minutes ago. I set a warm plate of pizza on it, got distracted {story of my life these days} and when I came back I realized what I had done. {sigh}
{SIGH}
One more time, just for good measure...
{sigh}
I would love some input on what kind of rotary mat to buy next. I really like the Olfa, but have heard good things about the Fiskar rotary cutting mats, too.
What brand of cutting mat do you have and why?
I have both and they all do it. I also have a Duraheal. I think I got it at Joann's on a 40% coupon. I have had this one for about 4 years. They have to lie flat and out of any kind of heat. Good Luck Chris
ReplyDeleteI love my Olfa cutting boards!!! I would not change brands for myself. I find that my blades do not dull as quickly with the Olfa. I've cut on other boards when visiting quilting friends, and my blades always dull. I agree with Chris, the boards have to be flat and no heat, not even in the car!
ReplyDeleteI have a Fiskars...there are some pretty colors :) I only have little specialty mats in Olfa, they work fine, just were more expensive
ReplyDeleteBummer .. I still really like OLFA!!
ReplyDeleteBeen there. Done that. Makes a person grit their teeth and groan. We always knew we needed a small cutting mat to take along some places, anyway. Right!
