Packing an olfa mat? Good idea or not?
#21
When I travel I have several small Olfa cutting mats that I just lay together to make a larger one when I get to my destination. I travel a lot with them and have not had any problems with them warping or shifting when I cut on them when they are laid together.

I bought a white mat at our quilt show that rolls up for storage or travel. I like it better than the hard green ones. It comes in all sizes and I have a huge one for my cutting table and a standard size for my "move" about cutting. It is a Sew fit 1-800-547-4739 or Sewfit.com. Have had them for several years and prefer to Omnigrid.

Left this one car lying in car for a short time and it warped!
I have one of these: http://www.joann.com/omnigrid-fold-a...x18-/prd22597/
It's got a bit more substance to it than just the mat, so less likely to warp than a mat by itself. Fits into a medium suitcase, if you're flying.

We're off tomorrow! I've packed twice. Had to take out a bunch of clothes so more projects would fit! My mat was too long for the suitcase so I'm going to get another one down there with a Joann's coupon. But I was able to use Jan's idea to make a foam core pocket for the rulers I'm taking. That worked really well. Have a good night!
