Our two most-traveled trade show talents are Jack Thompson and Melodee Cloud. Combined, they attend over 40+ shows per year, talking to thousands of CutterPillar friends and fans in the process.
One of our awesome partners recently asked us the most popular uses of our Light Boards, so we naturally went to Jack and Melodee to ask their informed takes. Below is what they've learned/observed, not necessarily in order of popularity.
Take a look- you might be surprised by how many others are creating with them:
Important note before we begin: Each size of our Glow Light Boards have three levels of light and are made out of acrylic, so they are very durable!
With each board, our translucent, self-healing cutting mat is INCLUDED.
We print a textured surface on the back of the cutting mat to keep from slipping around on the light board when you're using it. Now you can use a rotary cutter to cut paper or fabric right on your light!
