Good as a reserve for quilting

My son is studying architecture at college. Good to use when he comes home to do homework or around his apartment but not on his main board which should be bigger.

Pros
  • Many are enough
Cons
  • Some difficulties

This is an amazing cutting mat

I used it to cut paper for my daughter's art project. I used a precision knife and it scratches the mat but doesn't damage it beyond a very small cut line. I like the mesh as it saves time aligning the ruler or blade and ensures a straight and precise cut.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some little things

Disappointed Best at sewing

Pros
  • Excellent overall
Cons
  • Doubtful

Pros

Cons
