Eccho Report post Posted May 28, 2014 Hello everyone! I have noticed in a number of the online tutorials that a table top grid is used when laying out a pattern. Seems to be in 1 in. increments, and I think it would be great to have. The one in Richard Black's tutorials he evens cuts on it, so I don't know if it is under....What??? Glass........hardly.......Is it a composite surface? Anyone use something like this, or know what it is? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
