every so often I will use a "S.O.S." pad and rub the mat ....or a fine sand paper works also. Use the pad dry but be sure to wipe the map off really well, don't want any fragments from the S.O.S pad left for this would play havic on your cutter.

I don't buy a lot of notions simply because I think they are a waste of money. I try to keep my stuff as simple as possible because I use it often. I have a plastic tower with 7 drawers on wheels I got at walmart and most of my notions are in that. Little plastic containers divide my threads and bobbins I have marked "hand quilting thread" and "machine quilting thread" and I keep those bobbins with the matchine threads. Other drawers hold rotary blades, scizzors, adhesive spray, starch, bla bla bla you get the idea. I would rather spend my money on fabric and batting instead of junk I don't need.

Thank you - I love the description - among the listed things: "it makes its own uses" - - - I have since heard from a couple of people that said they are really neat! :D
Thanks again.

I also cannot get the hang of the pounce.
My ultimate favorite is a cutter attached to a ruler that I got from walmart. It looks like a paper cutter but its for fabric. It keeps me going straight and accurate and if it broke I would immediately go out and buy another!
