Rhino cutting mat on 5'x6' table

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!!!
