Cutting Mat 36x60 Black & Taupe, Extra Large Self Healing Cutting Mat 36 x 60 Inch, 5-Ply Craft Board Black, Hobby Board for Sewing and Quilting

I purchased the 72 x 36 mat and was super pleased and impressed that it was shipped FLAT in a sturdy, DURABLE BOX. I am able to immediately use it. No part of the mat was warped or damaged. The mat is a full 72 inches by 36 inches. Like any normal mat, there approximately a half inch border all the way around. The black side with white lines is easier to read. The contrast is better. The mat is thick and feels durable.

I ordered this mat as my old one was about 15 years old and my rotary cutter was not cutting very well and it wasn’t the blades. I figured it had to be the mat, so I chose this one for the multiple layers, the two sided capability. It’s a much heavier and bigger mat I had, but it’s really nice and I’m sure it’s going to hold up much longer than my old one. If you are going to classes, I would choose a smaller size than what I got just to be able to carry easier.

Solid construction and fit my needs. Good value

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Needed to cut quilt squares

Looks great and works great!

Great size and quality for my needs of cutting reflective tape/paper products.I put my deodorant stick in for size comparison.I gave 4 stars because the measuring grid is actually 8x11. The "9x12" was just a round up because the overall mat dimension are roughly 1/4 shy of the actual stated 9x12.They should just sell the mat as 8x11. However other measuring products like a granite surface plate come in 9x12 so to have this mat on top of those dimensions would be a good surface protector. All in all I am very satisfied with this mat and would recommend.

This is an excellent, durable, 2-sided mat. The lines make cutting much easier. I’ve seen more expensive mats that can’t match this quality.

Ive had this for almost 2 years and after daily use it still looks nearly new. The angles and measurements are extremely accurate and the black and white contrast is easy to use. The self healing of this cutting mat works quite well, better than i expected. I will definitely order another next time i need one.
