I love this band so much! Luckily it came right up to the edge of the sewing/craft table, which is very handy for me because I can use it to scroll around the table (the tape didn't reach the full circumference of only 5.5 inches). As far as I can tell, the measurements are correct. If I had any complaints it would be that I would like it to be easier to cut. but I'm sure if I had the right tool (and not just wire cutters) it would be great. But if you get a good result, it breaks pretty clean.
