Many years I have cut out all my button robe applique’s on a small 30″ x 40″ cutting mat which was not quite large enough for many of the designs. Then a fellow seamstress/clothing designer referred me to the Rhino Cutting Mat she had been using for many, many years. A few months ago I made it a point to afford one! I wish I had made this dream come true long time ago!!!
The Rhino cutting mat comes in several standard sizes, however, you can place a special order for whatever size you need. I ordered a 5′ x 6′ piece to fit on top of my two folding tables that sit side by side; this custom-cut mat costed me a bit over $200 with shipping — I tell you, it is well worth the investment!!!
The Rhino cutting mat is supplied with a printed grid the same size as the actual mat. The weight of the mat and grid keeps the mat flat and from sliding around.
The best thing I totally enjoy about my Rhino cutting mat is the fact that there is no seam!! There’s is no possibility of cutting a glitch in your fabric!!!
