    I have cutting mats and need to find a way to store them so that they do not warp. How do you store your mats flat?

    Sara I love that you give the dust bunnies a place to rest...lol. I store my mats behind my book shelves when they need to be out of the way but usually they just sit on my cutting table or my sewing table.

    At home.... on my cutting table.
    At my mom's, in my quilting carry-bag that is wide and flat and has a special pocket for them.

    The mats I'm not using at the time are in a cardboard "envelope" that is standing edge side up behind my desk, the one I'm using is on my cutting table.

    Mine is under an area rug in the living room. I don't have a quilting room at the moment but will soon after we rearrange the guest room.

    If it is not on the kitchen benchtop - that's where I cut - perfect height for cutting then it is under the lounge! :D
