What is your favorite cutting mat?

I have an older model Koala cutting table, which is 39" x 73". I love it! But, the mat that I have on it is shot. I am looking to buy a new mat. In my research, I am finding I can no longer get an exact fit for it. Sooooooo.......I am looking into all options, all mats. This will be a costly purchase, so I want to know that I will be happy with cutting fabric on it. I want to know what mats you have, if you like them, and why. I'm even considering getting one long one and one shorter one, so I can drop one leaf and still have a mat covering 46" of the table. I can't do that now, with one big long one. And storing it is a pain!
Thanks for your input!

Dorothy, after much research over the past few days, that particular mat is my first choice, even though it is 3" shorter than my table in width. And, since they can cut mats, I can have it cut in two at the 46" line, so I can drop a leaf if I wish to. My concern is.....I am not familiar with the brand. I'm hoping someone out there has one, and can tell me if they like it, if it is truly self healing, if the lines are easy to read, etc. It's a lot of money to spend on an unknown!

Hi Dawn,
I have one Duraheal and three Olfa mats the biggest is 36x24, (I prefer the Olfa's). I store the smaller ones between the sewing cabinet and corner table the larger one along the back wall of a closet. If cutting a large project I'll put all the cutting mats on the dinning room table.

Hi Scoopie,
I am one lucky quilter. Many years ago, my Dad built me a cutting table. It is 4 foot by 8 foot and counter high. It was made of plywood and then he glued metal flashing to it. Then he glued a cutting mat to it and put wood trim around the edges. It has shelves on each end. with space on the sides to hang rulers and drawers on both sides. I love it ! I like that I can use magnets to hold things to the table. The mat we used was a 1 in grid with 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 marks on the edging. The mat was called Megamat and was bought from the Sewfit Co. www.sewfit.com I have used this mat commercially for many years. I had a sewing and alteration shop along with my quilting. The grid is still very visible. The mat is starting to get cut marks, in the places I use all the time. I bought a 4 foot metal ruler from home improvement store. I goes all the way across the table and is great for trimming quilts. I am going to build a new studio and I plan on making the same thing for my new space. I hope this helps. I'm sure that you can cut it down if you want. I had used a mat for drafting, but it wore out pretty quickly. I will use the Megamat again.[/i][/b][/i]

Linda, I too have the Mega Mat, and am debating on getting the same thing again. Since I wrote this thread, I have been doing a lot of research. I think I'm going to only get a mat that is 48" in length, so that I can drop one leaf of my large cutting table, and still have the mat on it. Then I can fill in with an added 24" x 36" when I need the entire table top. The added plus of the Mega Mat is the ability to be able to pin into it. I have used that option many times. So, once I get new mats, I will still save a good sized piece of the Mega Mat for that purpose. My current one is pretty scarfed up from rotary cutting tight circles. It now catches on fabric and batting.
And, thanks mailmanldy, for the heads up on the Quilters Select mats!!!!! I didn't know they existed. I love that they have the smaller markings (1/8", 1/2", etc.) all the way across the mat. And, the inch measurement numbers going in both directions! And, all on BOTH sides! I may consider getting two of these to fill the 36" x 48" space. Hopefully, I can get a discount at my Floriani/RNK store. I get most of my Floriani (threads and stabilizers) at a discount there, because I bought my sewing machine there. Hopefully, the mats are included too, since Quilters Select is a Floriani/RNK product.
