Professional cutting mat

It’s gray/light black with grids every 1/2″ and has the 45 degree and 60 degree angles too (not shown here) See how nicely it fits my center island?

    I’m a huge fan of Kim Diehl – got to visit her home in Idaho several years ago – and I’ve been using her applique method for ages! I have a cutting table made from a door so it’s big like yours – have only used the largest Olfa mat, but this new one you found looks great – although I prefer one with no markings at all since I use the ruler to measure – I’ll have to check them out! Thanks for sharing the information.

      Lucky you to visit Kim’s home! I’m a machine applique convert, thanks to her. You’ll love the new cutting mat. I like Olfa, but this has a bit softer surface and 3 layers. Good luck!
