Pattern Table Grid ?

[Eccho]

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.

You can get those mats in the sewing dept of Wally world or Hobby Lobby, that is where I got mine.

If you have a staples near-by they have many different sizes too: Self Healing Cutting Mats

I hope to get a big'un when I finally build a proper worktable.

you can print out a 40% off coupon, . . . if I remember correctly, . . . mine cost about 26 or 28 bucks.

It is self healing, . . . has a 36 x 60 grid pattern, . . . overall is about 39 by 63, . . . and I just used double faced carpet tape to put it down on my table top. I love the thing.

May God bless,

Good lookin' out, Dwight! I had just been telling my wife I needed to hit up Staples but we have Joanne's here too and that's a much better deal. Thanks for letting us know.
