Round table for cutting

[TheKid]

Does anyone have this little round table to cut the fabric on?
It is like a turn table. I see El using this once in awhile on her show and it does look handy. Just expensive. They are going on sale at a local quilt store near by this next week, and I just want to be sure before I spend any money on it. Helpful suggestions are welcome.

My DH made me one and I use it beside my sewing machine and love it. He took the bottom off an old lazy susan type spice rack I had and attached it to a board the size of my smallest cutting mat and I used double sided tape to attch the mat. It works great. It isn't bt it is small and really handy to have when chain stitching.

Hi Kid,
You are talking about the Brooklyn Revolver and yes, it is very, very expensive. Eleanor does not use it anymore. She now uses the Olfa Rotating Cutting Mat. It is not only cheaper but actually works better. The Brooklyn Revolver tends to turn too easily on you when you are trying to cut and errors are easily made. I have the Olfa mat and it is really wonderful.

I used to have the BR, but I had to push really hard to lock it while cutting. So, out with that! I now have the Olfa 360, I have the 12.5" for squaring blocks in class. But, now they have the 18" Olfa 360, very nice. Like the Olfa much better than the BR, JMO, Amie

I have the Olfa Rotating Cutting Mat. I use it a lot. I bought it a a 50% off sale and I would pay full price for another if something happened to this one. I rotates easy when you want it to and not when you don't.

I absolutely love my Olfa rotating mat. I wish I had spent a little more and bought the larger one. But I use mine all the time. No tipping or moving around. Very easy to take to classes.

The Kid, thanks for asking. I had been wondering about getting one. And thank the rest of you for your helpful answers.

I use a BR and have not had a problem because the pressure when I hold down the ruler keeps it from turning.

I just found a thing you put under a TV to make it easy to turn different direction. My first thought was revolving cutting mat. Ho important is it to be able to keep it from turning while you cut?
