I placed a rubber mat under mine. This keeps it from sliding around. My issue was it developed cracks overnight on one side after treating it with cutting board oil before my first use.

I bought mine to replace a cloth I'd had for years. I just scraped it with a flat blade, added a bit more flour, and scraped it again. Then I store it covered with paper towels, wrapped around the rolling pin and stored in a clean plastic bag. But if you're rolling out spicy dough, you might want to wash it with warm water and gentle cycle. Btw, I also bought the non-slip product to place the pastry cloth on...and roll it along with the whole thing. I love the non-slip thing as the cloth stays put!

I just roll it on until almost full. I have no ideal how many feet that is. Sorry

To measure the diameter or length of whatever you are rolling out (for example, pie crusts)

Works fine for my 85 inch mat. Works best if you roll your meat fairly tight.

I keep mine rolled out. Don't think it makes any difference once the dough is on it. Haven't had any problems myself, but then I bought it because I have to use the kitchen table and I used to make a huge mess. This mat keeps my flour pretty much contained.

Do you use it on the mat or are you trying to just put it in the machine. If you are using the mat it should stick on the mat and you should not have a problem

Hello Bonnie, the other people answered correctly. It rolls up like a rug and gets quite compact. The only problem I have is that it is a little stiff when rolled up, even more so than an excercise mat. So if you leave it rolled up too long it retains shape for a few days after unfolding.

I've used this mat several times and haven't had an issue with sliding. The only problem I've encountered is dough sticking a little bit because the mat is plastic and doesn't grip flour like a canvas mat. This is easily solved by making sure the dough is cold and putting extra flour in the middle of the mat prior to rolling. Overall, I am very pleased with this product.

Sorry I can't help you. I don't have the mat any more. It was a little to heavy for me!

The closest I saw in the instruction book is fruit leather. Traditional roll ups are mad from puréed fruit on sheets placed in a dehydrator. This has open trays to allow air circulation. You dry the piece of fruit rather than spread on sheets. I did pineapple slices that are delicious!

Yes you can roll it up after each use it will be a rather large roll. I love my mat and I only have an underneath my elliptical machine I'll begin. It would be perfect for garage because it's thick

Hi there, after hot yoga when your mat is sweaty you will certainly want to unroll it when you get home and let it dry completely. Every 4th or 5th class I rinse it with the hose and let it dry in the sun. I have taken a bucket of diluted basic H to it as well just to keep it fresh. But bottom line, if it's wet with sweat unroll it and let it dry completely.

I love the mat but it didn't come with instructions. Mine is getting dirty in the middle so I'm going to try washing it on gentle cycle and letting it air dry.

This mat is very flexible. It can be easily rolled up & stored when not in use!

I have never rolled my mat. But, I would think putting it out on a hot concrete surface in the sun for a while would flatten it and you wouldn't have to attach it. (We live in Texas and it gets hot.) If that doesn't work, try small c-clamps. I store my mat behind a bookcase. Linda
