Review on πŸ”ͺ Silhouette America Portrait Medium for Precision Cutting by Wendy Rodriguez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

boo I don't like the redesign.

I miss the old lightweight holding mats :( I mostly cut pieces of fabric by attaching the iron to the glue. It used to cut beautifully with the old mats which were more opaque and stickier" They hardly stick to the fabric. I actually have to tape the edges and then because the fabric snaps around the edges the cut isn't that clean. Also they smell funny. It probably wouldn't bother me if the product was otherwise good. But they smell like something like new bath toys - PVC? - and it seems to linger in the room for a while. " The mat in question would be a product adaptation of a matte product with a slight fix. A new type of easy-tack mat offers a lower adhesive content to prevent thin or delicate paper materials from curling when removed from the mat. Although some materials may not adhere well to the mat and may come off very easily, please note that the horizontal plane of the adhesive must fix the material in relation to its lateral tension to ensure proper cut alignment. I keep using them because I have no other choice. Regular mounting pads stick too much to the paper based adhesive and it takes me 20 minutes to get all the paper off. They are almost disposable. I can use them about 3 times and then I have to take new ones.
