Awesome tip!! I love it. I will be sharing it w/ my customers from here out.
I love the current pastry mat. So does my mom, I can remember growing up w/ her old Tupperware one and she would roll it and use twisty-ties to hold it together, then when we used it she would set heavy things on the four corners to keep it from rolling up again. We both LOVE that it can set all year rolled up and roll flat when you want it!!
