Description of 🧵 Premium 24x36 Rotary Cutting Mat for Quilting Sewing - Warp-Proof & Odorless, Self-Healing (Non-China Origin)

Cut Marks Heal in Seconds - Each cutting mat consists of 15 layers of self-healing compound, so it heals faster and the surface stays smooth for longer. Our mats are at least 25% heavier than those by Alvin, Olfa or Fiskars due to the higher material density produced by our proprietary manufacturing process. Stays flat, Won't Warp or Crack - Our mats are made of sturdy, refined material that can withstand direct sunlight and will quickly recover even if not stored flat. Most multi-layer or thin boards can warp easily due to impurities in the material reacting differently to temperature and bending. Certified Safe & Odorless - Compliant with EN 71-3, the newest European safety standards concerning Heavy Metals present in products children may come in contact with. We also eliminated VOCs so it won't stink up your room and there's no chemical residue left on your fabric and paper. In Inches & cm, Double-Sided - Both Imperial and Metric guides are printed (one per side; see image 4), and we ensure the grid lines are accurate to help you measure and line up material easily. Beginning Apr 2016, all our mats have full 24 x 36 grids - Ideal size for both beginning and seasoned quilters (especially if this is your first purchase) because you only need to fold yardage once and thus avoid those ugly 'dog legs' (grids: 24"x36"; thickness:0.1" or more; cutter & ruler Not included)

Non-Self-Healing for Cutting Mats

First off, it's not really a two-page image. One side is in centimeters, the other in inches. Second, it is definitely not self-healing. The so-called guarantee is a joke. They give you the 30 days Revain needs, and if you "register" a checkmate, you'll get extra time. You can return it for a dime. The freight will pretty much nullify any refund you may have received. If you are a patchwork quilt, I suggest you go ahead. I've only cut material for two small projects, and the mat already has…

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...

Wrong direction/position of numbering

I don't like how the numbering is organized. I prefer 1 to 18 inches left to right. If I checkmate this way, the numbers are inverted. If I want the numbers to be right side up, I have to position the mat 18" to 1" from left to right, and I'm having a hard time working in that direction. I bought an 18x24 rug and thought it would look like the first picture attached on the Revain website. My rug does not look like the first picture as shown in pics 2 and 3. The advertising is misleading and now

Pros
  • Ideal for a small house
Cons
  • Damaged

Excellent quality cutting mat

I am a quilter and must have over a dozen mats of various sizes. I have an Alvin rug (warped within 2 months for no good reason), a Dahle rug, a Fiskar rug, a June Taylor rug (big mistake), an expensive Martelli rug and the rest is owned by Olfa. I now have a Caliber Art 18x24 mat. The Caliber rug appears to be of good quality and the stitch lines are accurate. I would compare it to the much more expensive Martelli. They appear to be the same thickness and quality. Both claim to be warp…

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Compatibility

By far the best rug I have found and no chemical smell

Have tried 2 rugs before from different well known brands at local sewing and craft stores. Both had terrible chemical smells! The smell of one could be heard even in the rooms where the carpet had never been! I've been looking for a rug without a terrible smell for quite some time. Caliber Mat is exactly what you need! While there is a very faint odor when you bring it directly to your nose, it's not a chemical or skunky smell like the others I've tried. And this has been outside in the house…

Pros
  • Good stuff
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

I can't cut on a curved mat!

I quilt for many hours every day and end up using my old Olfa mat that I have had for over 20 years. It's time for a new one. After reading many reviews I was willing to pay almost double for what was supposed to be "twist resistant", odorless and oh such an excellent rug! Arrived today, packed in a box. Was it delivered disassembled according to the instructions? No it was not! It now has two folds as it was bent to fit the shipping carton. He seems very stiff and after 30 minutes he is still…

Pros
  • Cutting mats
Cons
  • No instructions

Great cutting mat at a great price - will replace all mine!

I am very happy with this cutting mat! This rug is far superior to the thinner rugs I've bought from Joanna, it looks a lot more professional. I've been using it for a week now and it's holding up my rotary cutting much better than the old ones. It also heals much faster - when I cut too hard in one pass and made a deep cut I kicked myself, sure I screwed up. Six hours later I can't tell where he was except for a small mark on the surface. The lines are blurred and some have lived with use, but

Pros
  • Crafts and Sewing
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

Excellent cutting mat, no smell; Sizing Issues

I used a different brand of self-healing mat and needed a different size. While searching for Revain I came across Caliber Art rugs. I actually ordered 2; The mat is advertised as 12x18 and this one is advertised as 24x36. They were both sent separately in a large zipped bag, rolled up and sealed with tape. Both arrived in excellent condition. Each mat has a low odor compared to other new cutting mats, and the odor will disappear about an hour after removing it from the plastic bag. Both mats…

Pros
  • Quilting
Cons
  • Poor Instructions
