I love my rotating matt also. As for making flying geese, I hope you have a "wing clipper" ruler. It is fantastic for squaring up those flying geese. There is another flying geese ruler out there but I have found the wing clipper to be the better of the two. Good luck!

I have the 12 & 6 inch ones. Remember if you get a larger one, it takes more room for it to revolve. If I have a larger piece of fabric still attached to what I'm cutting, I just carefully lay it on the board before I turn it. Now that I have them, I don't think I could quilt without them!

I, too thought it would be a "luxury" item & probably not used very often. Much to my surprise, I use mine a lot & have never regretted buying one. It turns fairly easily & doesn't move when cutting, even though it does not "lock" into place. A good purchase, overall.

I have the 14" but have always wanted a bigger one. So, Connecting Threads has a 17" one? Dang! That sounds like I'm going to have to ask my local quilt shop to order me one. I'm banning myself from online shopping and buying only from my local quilt shop. She needs the business. I might have to pay $2 more, but I will do it to save her shop.

I just got an early B'Day present from my sister-the Olfa rotating mat. (I picked it ,she paid for it) Bought it at Hancocks Frabrics on sale -was $43 I paid $30 plus senior's 15% discount so really saved. Total cost $25. Cant wait to start using it.
