Quite unlike the garden variety of rotating cutting mats that are more clumsy than anything! This has a base similar to a lazy-Susan and is easy to spin. It comes in three sections. First there is the rotating base and there are two tops.one of the tops is an ironing pad and the other is, of course, the cutting surface. I’m very happy I took the plunge and finally bought myself this set.

I absolutely ♡ this for cutting. I also have a grey square mat that rotates, but it does not compare to how efficient this turn table is. Only thing is, if you have the ironing part too, it is made of wood. I stored mine upright and not flat and it did warp a little. Still usable though. But I mostly use the cutting mat.

Can’t believe I managed this long without one Absolutely love this especially when squaring up dozens of small pieces Would highly recommend this for anyone considering a little splurge on quilting tools
