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!

BIG NUMBERS, how great is that! Am so happy with this cutting mat. Double sided & easy to read all measurements. Resists grooves from the rotary blades I use. I expect this mat to last several years & highly recommend. Thanks Fiskar plus it came in a sturdy flat box. No bends here!

This cutting mat has held up really well for all my crafting projects. The material feels heavy-duty, and even after multiple cuts, it hasn’t started to show wear. The double-sided design with angled guides is super helpful for precision work. Overall, it’s a reliable mat that makes cutting paper and other materials much easier and more accurate.

I’ve been using Fiskers cutting mats and rotary cutters daily in my home sewing business for at least 16 years. They are exceptional quality tools. The mat has an added bonus in that it has ruled markings on both sides which are useful for sewers and quilters. The price was less than half of what I paid for my last mat.

Can’t go wrong with Fiskars quality for sure! Got it for my mom to carry to quilting so she has her own cutting board she loves it. Color great quality great size as indicated light weight and works great!! Yes

Good overall. Durable and of standard thickness. One corner arrived warped, but it was easy to fix using heat from a hair dryer. If anyone experiences the same issue, you can flatten it by gently heating the area with a dryer.

I love the size. It works great for quilting.

This is the best purchase. I love it , arrive on time and the best price most important.please get it now

Me encantó es muy grande, amé el color se ve resistente, yo lo compré para trabajar en la pasta y la verdad me encantó no se le pega nada, lo recomiendo.

It a good product.. worth it but a lil pricey..🙂

Packaged really well goods quality feels great very pleased service as described

I was excited to invest in a good cutting mat. When it arrived, it was delivered without any protective packaging. Just the mat with delivery stickers STUCK TO IT. Which means I have spent the last hour trying to get rid of sticky residue on the mat from the stickers! I understand the mat is huge and packaging of that size is hard to find but there has to be a better way. I can’t even review the product itself cos I’m waiting to see if the residue can come off before I put any fabric on it. Ridiculous!

Good quality mat. The contrasting colours make things easy.
