Fiskars Self Healing Cutting Mat for Quilting, Arts and Crafts, 24" x 36" Grid, Sewing Mat, Craft Cutting Board, Sewing Supplies and Quilting Tools

Giant and Durable. Love the double-sided feature. I use it to cut and break down boxes to protect from scratching my table, Thick and durable but flat enough to slide it behind somewhere for storage. The color is nice, cutting ability is great and holds it well. As far as functionality, it is perfect for everyday use and crafts. Use it on the table or on the ground. For sewing, cutting products, and more.

The mat is great and so far no traces of using my rotary cutter on it. Love the large size. The only “con” is that it was extremely smelly when I first got it and it took a long time for the smell to dissipate—like close to a week. Maybe set it somewhere outside if possible to air out on arrival.

Works as intended, made with good materials, thick and holds up well to cuts.Plenty of room and is flexible yet rigid enough to pick up with various materials on it in order to relocate. Doesn't leave marks or cuts on any surface it's placed on.Overall very pleased and would definitely recommend.

This self-healing cutting mat is well designed and works perfectly for cutting fabric for piecing and binding. It fits very well on the top of a card table, and makes a comfortable cutting surface. I originally went to a big box craft store, but they wanted almost twice as much for it! Fiskars makes high quality cutting mats. I would highly recommend this mat for quilting, sewing, scrapbooking, or paper crafts.

The media could not be loaded. Ladies, size really does matter! And don't let anyone try to tell you otherwise. We've all heard the old sayings that “size doesn't matter” or “good things come in small packages”, and my personal favorite, “It's not the size that counts, it's how you use it.” Heck, we've heard them since we were young adults.Come on, let's face it. SIZE DOES MATTER. All these other sayings and “truisms” were started by people who didn't have big tools. They were started as a means to cover up inadequacies and ever since, we have been told that we need to accept them.Well, I'm here to tell you that I'm done accepting other people's false truisms. I'm done being told to accept and believe their lies. I'm done playing the patsy and pretending what they say is true. It's not. I'm going to stand up and say that I FIRMLY believe that SIZE DOES MATTER. The bigger the tool, the better. Yes, how you use it matters, but if you are starting with a small, inadequate tool, you will always be wondering about what you are missing out on. When it comes down to it, in the end, you can only do so much with a few inches. It's frustrating and just never fully satisfies.If you are lucky and wise to have found a big tool to play with and use, and those of you out there who have know who you are, then you know what I am talking about. No more frustration from not being able to finish the job without having to jump through hoops or make up for its limited size. No more having to always be flipping things over, turning around, trying to make it stay when it wants to just keep slipping off and falling because it's just too small.A big, properly sized tool is just a pleasure to use. It fits well, doesn't let things roll or slide off and gives you the size you need to really fool around and discover your inner creative self. It lets you use your imagination, to discover, to see new things instead of spending and wasting your time trying to make a small, inadequate tool do the job of a big, pleasurable one.We all know we want this tool. We know we should always get the biggest tool of its type that we possibly can. We appreciate its self healing ability for those times that we may have used it too much or too hard. We don't have to worry, just give it a little time and it will spring back from all the hard use we put it through. It's durable and meant to last for many, many years of pleasurable enjoyment. If you don't have a private room to use it and store it in, just keep it under your bed. But please, whatever you do to it or how you use it, please don't roll it up and toss it in a corner. It needs to be kept in a prone position if it is going to continue to give you years of pleasure and enjoyment.Yes it comes with lines on both sides, and unlike our own lines, these lines are really highly appreciated. Wrinkles they are not, they are nice, straight 30, 45 and 60 degree angles. I personally find myself using the 60 degree angle the most. I like a nice, strong angle that I know is there to help me see my dreams, my desires and my imaginations come true.It's an intriguing tool, too, having both a light and dark side to it because as we all know, sometimes you can see better when with the dark side. Just choose the light or the dark side to stop any boredom from setting in. Give it a gentle caress with a soft lint-free cloth when you are done using it. You want to keep those new cut lines free from small debris and lint so that they will heal, otherwise, foreign particles will get into the cut lines and clog its pores. When you have finished for the day, be sure to store it either flat or hanging from the wall. Let it have a meaningful rest so that it will be there and fulfill your needs the next time around.Now, like me, go forth and set your imagination free with this tool! And remember, the bigger the tool, the better!If you liked this review, Follow me on Amazon if you wish to be notified as I post new reviews.

I love this double-sided mat! It functions well, is aesthetically pleasing, and I love the easy-to-read measurements. It's thick enough but not bulky, thin enough but not flimsy. Sturdy enough that it offers solid protection to any surface I'm working on. High value, I'd buy again.

Works as planned. But mine came with a weird white powder over and stickers left a darker mark, as if the mat had been left in the sun for months and perished. Almost returned it but does not seem brittle, so I will keep it

Loved the size. Large enough for all my quilts.
