24 x 36 Cutting Mat for Sewing, Self Healing Double Sided Quilting Crafts Mat - Fabric Cutting Mat - Non Slip surface - Rotary Cutting Board

I purchased this for a paper folding class, but then didnt use it for said class. I have a much larger board for sewing projects but it is too large for easy transport. This one is great for that and handily tucks into an easily-managed craft bag. I like this size because for most smaller projects you are not going to get near or over the edges of it with your rotary cutter or ruler. Wish I had it a few years ago!

I am impressed with the quality of this cutting mat. It was delivered flat in a large box, which I think helped it to retain its overall shape. It has a slight odor; but very unnoticeable unless you put your nose right up to it. The fact that it is 2-sided is also a plus. Both sides are identical. Markings are in inches (both sides) and seem to be quite accurate. An overall good value.

As a crafter expanding my horizons, i LOVE this mat as it, in conjunction with other tools has assisted in opening a door to new adventures. There is an initial chemical smell upon opening it, but hey, of course there is, because it is a chemical based product, so dont let that be part of your review unless you were expecting rosemary and thyme, which would be bizarre to begin with. I have a small crafting space, so the variety of sizes allowed me to select the perfect mat for my space. I am also struggling with the realization of aging, arthritis and joint pain, so being able to use the rolling cutter instead of the pinking shears is helpful, and this mat aids in that process. I cannot attest to how long it will last, but for now, after an initial heavy use project, it appears brand new.

This cutting mat has two sides, so it will last longer, especially if rotated after each use. I chose the 12 by 18 inch style because it fits easily on a desk or table top leaving space for utensils and free movement. This improves safety while in use. Lines are designated on both sides and improve accuracy while cutting. The product is made to self-heal; a great advantage for use over time. Mine has shown to self-heal already. it is a fine quality product at a fair price. I recommend it highly. Cathy

This was a lot larger than I had anticipated (though that was stupid on my part for not paying close attention to the dimension), but it works great, and actually is perfect for what I need. Because it is so large, I can actually use it - more or less - as a table top for all my other craft equipment (I do 3D paper crafts); this way, they wont scratch up my actual table top. It heals quickly (most of the time, I cannot even tell I had made a cut), and is perfect what it is supposed to do.

This is a very nice cutting mat. Size is appropriate and the quality is great. My only complaint was the very strong odor upon opening for the first time. I suggest opening it outside and letting it air out for an hour or so. Smells like paint fumes, but it goes away.

I am a quilter and I needed new cutting mats

I do a lot of work with utility knives and exacto-type knives in making costumes. This particular mat is REALLY tough and resistant to nicks and tears. The surface is impermeable enough to quickly clean up glue scrapes. What is great (and I didnt expect) is how easily this rolls when I want to store it. Suggestion for improvement: this mat has angles measured and separate graduations at inches and half-inches; it would have been great if metric units were included. When in use, it is the base for my craft workstation, and it is of course, recommended.

I bought this 2.5 years ago. Why am I writing a review now? Because I recently had an issue with the product. I remembered having bought this due to all the great reviews and great price so I reached out to the company and explained my issue. They replaced my mat in less than a week! This is a company that truly stands behind its product. Dont hesitate to buy it. Product works great and they stand by it.
