Members somewhereinusa Posted February 8, 2010 Members Report Posted February 8, 2010 Some time ago there was a thread about long cutting surfaces. I've searched everything I can think of and am not having any luck. Can someone direct me to that thread or discuss what you are using for a long cutting surface. 6 to 8 feet? Thanks, Dick Quote

Members Celtic Maiden Posted February 8, 2010 Members Report Posted February 8, 2010 I use several cutting mats contact cemented to my 4ft by 8ft work table. They last a LONG time. I replace them as needed. Quote "Nature is just enough; but men and women must comprehend and accept her suggestions." Antoinette Brown Blackwell www.terrablue.org www.sarahsworks.com
Hilly Posted February 8, 2010 Report Posted February 8, 2010 You can buy HDPE (heavy duty polyethylene) sheets up to 8 feet long. HDPE won't grab at your blades or dull them the way rubber cutting mats can. Look at HDPE sheets here. Quote

I wonder if I should cover my pattern cutting table for general sewing with that too. Quote "Nature is just enough; but men and women must comprehend and accept her suggestions."
