Review on Get Precision Cuts With REALIKE StandardGrip Cutting Mats For Silhouette Cameo - 3 Pack Of Gridded Adhesive Non-Slip Mats For Craft And Sewing Projects by Derek Faseworld

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Need to calibrate my machine to make it right

Measured it from the original Cameo mat and it is a lot thicker. The left margin is exact, but the top is about 1/16" more. I used to have accurate cuts on my old mat but with this mat it is a bit off. I have to calibrate my machine to get it to cut in the right place. I always align the top left corner first but making sure the top of vinyl is aligned. I saw some complaints on the blade depth, it made sense, since it is a lot thicker compared to the original one that came with the machine. I just replace the blade on my CB09, so I have to start from trial and error first anyway. I have an old machine so thicker mat may make the roller tension better, I guess. During that time, there's no "inkjet printable" vinyl available in the market yet.

Pros
  • These cutting mats are easy to clean and maintain, adding to their convenience and practicality
Cons
  • Can be difficult to line up patterns on the mat
