Dritz Foldable Superboard, Laminated Cutting Surface

I have a large plastic cutting mat and rotary cutter, which I sometimes use. As a personal preference, I like to have this cutting board on my 4' x 6' cutting table to provide a surface to work on. The table itself is wood covered with natural colored thick twill. Fabric doesn't stick to this, and it has vertical and horizontal inches marked off, for cutting panels, etc., for home dec projects. It is made of cardboard and prone to stains, etc. I think the price is steep, given that is JUST a piece of cardboard with markings, and the markings have not changed in decades. But nothing else does what it does. Oh, this thing wants me to mention the color. The background is white. Oh, rotary cutters are not the best idea for every fabric, either.

I have used this once so far to trace off pattern pieces from your standard pattern tissue sheets and it worked great. I have a smallish condo with no available dining room or other table to lay it all out on. With this Dritz tool I can use my bed or what I actually did was put the Dritz board on top of a dresser. I've been doing this for a while but with 71 year old eyes it is lots easier to see the correct size lines to trace against a white background and not a dark wood one. Looks to be very durable which as I am making around 14 garments a year for my grandchild is important. That it also folds up and doesn't take much room up is good too.
