    I forgot about the cutting mat/ironing board (June Taylor) that started my hanging cutting mats in the first place! Now, I am trying to figure out how many cutting mats do I really own??? Don't recommend the June Taylor board anymore, just because if you ever really USE the ironing section, the cutting mat starts separating from the ironing section ... but, the handle that you carry the board with, and which I use two pegboard hangers to suspend it straight, is a very good idea.

    Under the bed would be an excellent place to store them.

    I store mine behind the desk or dresser and the wall in my room (as long as there's no heating unit there). It's upright and flat. No warping.

    My husband and daughter are very good at "helping" me and moving them. They cannot seem to get the idea that they must remain flat or they will be ruiened. I think I have flipped out on them enough now that I have them scared to touch them. LOL

    The smaller one I hang up on a hanger with clothes pins.
    The larger one I stand up behind my bookshelf. (It's too heavy for the hanger).

    I hang mine on skirt hangers at the end of a cupboard. The really big one takes 2 hangers. Works a treat!

    I have three mats. One is a big 'en. The next is the size of my dryer top, since my laundry is in my sewing room. the tiny little 12X12 is for little tiny cuts to trim when I PP. Golly - can a girl have TOO many?
