T/A OLFA UK OLFA’s Rotating Mat is the ultimate, multi-purpose craft mat. Made using the finest materials, it’s highly durable and practical. When cutting through materials, a surface underneath that’s too hard will quickly blunt blades, so it’s essential to use a high-quality cutting mat. Unlike many on the market, OLFA’s mats have a top layer made of flexible olefin resin that will extend the life of your rotary and art blades. Incisions reseal automatically, providing a long-lasting cutting surface. Aside from damaging blades, inferior mats are more prone to deep incisions that cannot heal, leading to inefficient future cuts. The rotating feature of this mat is one of a kind. Its non-slip base has an interlocking top that rotates 360 degrees. This makes it considerably easier to cut out shapes that require turning, such as squares, circles and triangles. Spinning on a fixed point eliminates the need to move the cutting object or strain your hands, arms, back, shoulders or neck trying to work around it. The mat has a white, easy-to-read grid and measurements for accurate cuts every time and straight lines. Both eco-friendly and DEHP-free, they’re also kind to you and the environment. +44 (0)20 8204 1422 www.olfauk.com ZWEIGART Zweigart’s fabric range offers a great colour selection of AIDAs, evenweaves and linen fabrics for a wide variety of embroidery techniques.
