Back of cutting mat
#21
Super Idea, Does the permanent (as permanent as possible) rub off the mat and onto the fabric. I am a person that totally depends on those 1/8" lines for straight! I trust me, and I had better after 76 years, but my hands don't listen to me all the time, and the eyes are getting a little sassy, too! But I have, I'll bet a nickel to a rotten donut, at least 8 mats, all different sizes that are like brand new on the flip side. And mats are expensive. Thanks for the info,. That is something I am going to do. Edie
The colour has never transferred to the fabric and the lines are still as bright as when I drew them.
I'll add that I drew four lines top to bottom about four inches from each side to use squaring up washed and pressed yardage. Four lines so it wouldn't matter which way I had the fabric on the mat, not because you need four lines to square up. Then I drew several more lines in the middle to use to line up fabric edges when cutting. Hope this helps.
