Fiskars 24" x 36" Self Healing Cutting Mat, Extra Large Double-Sided Grid

This is a very nice, large cutting mat. It came nicely packaged in a large box so it was well protected and was not warped. When I opened the box, the mat had a slight odor, but the smell disappeared within minutes.

I love my giant mat so much, it's so cute and purple and I love how it's double sided hence the longer lifespan! Its thickness is just right and its lightweight so I can hang it anywhere.

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!

Oh, and no, it doesn't come anymore with the California Prop 65 sticker -- mine was naked!

Great for my crafting. I highly recommend this product

I absolutely love this Fiskars mat!! I still can't believe this 12"×18" Fiskars cutting mat was less than $11. I was very annoyed, & angry to see the cost of the exact same 12"×18" Fiskars mat in pink, blue or purple cost about 3x as much at $32, as the same size gray colored one is $11. I prefer the light & dark gray, but many people would prefer a different color, & I thought it was a ridiculous increase in price just to get a different color. I do love the 2-sided light gray & dark gray very much. This mat a perfect size to help me when sewing, crochet, knitting, or any other craft that requires straight cuts, angles & precise measurements. It's also a perfect surface to use a rotary cutter, which is what I mainly got it for, but I've already used it for a lot already. I do hope it's long-lasting & stays nice for a very longtime. The color cost is aggravating. I don't think anyone should have to pay $20 more to choose a color other than gray. I could understand a small price difference, but 3x the cost for the same product is not right to do. It makes me want to take off 1 star, but I just love mine so much, I will not. 5* stars!!

It’s pretty big and resistant. It is slightly heavy and thick for sewing use. Overall easy to see and helpful for a variety of projects. Color is also pretty accurate.

I don't like the small hole for hook not essential. but nice mat.

Very nice mat, perfect size. Works great for cutting material.

Me encantó el tamaño, es perfecto para mí espacio.
