Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the MegaMat designed to work with?
- The MegaMat is sized to fit directly on the Hobby Table cutting table frame, creating a seamless large-format cutting surface. It can also be used on any flat table large enough to accommodate its 40" x 72" footprint.
- Can I cut full-width fabric without folding on the MegaMat?
- Yes — 40" of width accommodates standard 44/45" quilting cotton folded in half (22"), and the 72" length handles long cuts without repositioning. Many quilters also lay fabric unfolded for single-layer cuts.
- How do I store a mat this large?
- Store the MegaMat flat — never roll or fold it, as large mats are prone to warping if stored vertically or bent. If your studio has a dedicated cutting table, leaving it in place is the best storage solution.
- Is the MegaMat double-sided?
- Check the product listing for this specific mat — some MegaMat versions feature a double-sided grid. A double-sided mat gives you an extra working surface and extends the mat’s usable life.
- What are the care instructions for a large self-healing mat?
- Keep away from heat and direct sunlight (both cause warping). Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Store flat. Do not use harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners on the mat surface.
