Fiskars 183720-1002 Fashion Cutting Mat, 24x36-Inch - Vibrant Color Variation Review

Damn yes. I feel like I won the color lottery. I have a pink one and it's beautiful. I'm glad this thing is double sided. He seems quite skinny compared to my older/younger ones. However, I'm not sure if this affects the usage time. So I'll keep using it and update if I have problems with it.

The length and width were perfect for my cutting surface. Clearly marked grid lines made it easy to measure and cut blocks for the crib cover. Other reviews I read before buying concerned the strong smell. There was no bad smell from the carpet. I would order again.

Mat is set to cut left to right. I wanted a mat that I could start cutting on from right to left, with numbering starting at the bottom right (where both units start). That implies the picture. I even asked about it. This rug is back. The picture in the listing should be as accurate as possible. It offers instant payout only.

Non-self-healing. I don't think this is a very high quality cutting mat. This is my first time using it and there are already permanent marks and raised cuts on its surface. I would come back if it wasn't so painful during quarantine. I would take the Olfa carpet. I used one in design school and it actually met the "self-healing" requirement and lasted forever. This one is cute, with fun colors and all, but not the quality you want.

PROS: Ideal for a range of projects from cutting paper to measuring thread for jewelry and of course sewing. Sturdy and withstood a lot of abuse. Can be rolled up or laid flat, the shape will return to normal after a while. The cuts never reach the underlying surface. CONS: Not the best option. When cutting the fabric, pieces of fabric got stuck in a small cutting line. Colored fabrics easily get dirty. Cuts can easily be made into the material and will not "seal" like more expensive brands…

I ordered 2 rugs hoping to get at least 1 purple/lilac but got one of each of the other 2 instead Colors Get This! It's not the seller's fault as the lack of choice was noted up front and it was my decision to save $ compared to buying at a local craft supermarket where I could pick a color. I like them as an update to the dark green rugs I've had for over a decade, mostly for the beautiful, vibrant colors and large, clearly printed, easy-to-read measurement markings. Being able to use both…
