cutting mat …
My old Jakar was over 15 years old, and bless her, she’d lost every ounce of magical restorative self-healing power ...
… let alone the fact that for the first 10 years I used her for paper projects, so she was covered in bits of glitter & paint & glue that wouldn’t shift … and no measuring guides, so everything's been a bit hit and miss on the squaring off front!
Well, plenty of markings here … oh my, what a difference this makes! It’s just so much easier on my rotary blade!
Just in time for all the manic swap action …
If anyone’s interested, I bought it online from The Cotton Patch - they have great fabric, including some nice looking solids (which I’m not buying cos of this dashed fabric diet) but they also have incredibly extensive stock of notions and haberdashery - Insul-brite for making potholders, rulers, mats, needles for every possible occasion, oh it’s just joy and good pricing too.
They do ship internationally, but obviously it’s a bit daft to buy a ruler and ship it, so just stick to the fabrics and other stuff! …
Cotton Patch are also incredibly helpful, as the first package went awry in the crap Christmas post fiasco, and having received a resounding “UH?” from the Post Office, they were very quick off the mark.
So, Omnigrid - This could be the start of a beautiful friendship -
