Perfect on it’s own or as an accessory to a light pad. I was surprised how thick it is! Super product! Seamstress, artist, craftsman…this is a very handy tool for all.

I use this for taping my large watercolor projects. The measurements provide help when I tape it to get even lines around my work and to keep my surface from buckling. I also use it to protect my workspace. It is great when I need to use my exacto knife. It’s very sturdy; not flimsy like most self-healing mats. An all-around helpful tool in the studio. I had another from the same brand for many years and knew I could trust it to be just what I needed. It didn’t disappoint!

I purchased this exact cutting mat at a local art store in 2006. They no longer carry it, and the replacement is green/opaque/has no angled gridlines, so I went online to see if these were still around. They are! Back in '06, this was the first I had heard of "self-healing" cutting mats. Lo and behold, it lived up to its promise, and then some! I put the mat through its paces, generally abusing it with various permanent ink and paint spills, and not really paying attention to where I was cutting (the company suggests moving your cuts around the board to space out the wear and tear). The only reason I bought a new mat is that my old one is becoming opaque with all the stains. We used the old one last night to cut some cardboard, and it worked just fine. We will keep it for messier jobs. Even without a light box, I have found the translucency extremely helpful for many projects through the years. For example, lining up typeface on my acrylic stamps for layered stamping projects. I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the grid, which includes 45º and 60º angles. I find 12" X 18" to be perfect for my (pretty limited) workspace. I can move it easily, but rarely need to. Even with all the cuts, I can write just fine over it (my messy handwriting will have to look for a different excuse lol). If I am going to bring plastic into my home, it *must* be a mulitasker. This mat won't see a landfill any time soon, and neither will its predecessor. Since purchasing this mat, I've noticed how many of my favorite "makers" have either the green or clear Alvin mats in their set-ups. Alvin got my loyalty with that first mat, and I just hope I'm right. I hope that sharing my experience with this invaluable tool helps someone, and I wish everyone good luck with their projects.

I have a lightbox without a cutting surface which I use for quilt paper piecing. I considered getting a new one with a ruled cutting surface so I could cut directly on the lightbox, but the one I had in mind, which had been demonstrated in several online videos, was very expensive. I decided to try this cutting mat since it was advertised to be translucent, and it lives up to the advertising. It seemes to be very high quality, makes a perfect companion to my lightbox, fits within the lighted area perfectly, and I can store it along with the lightbox. As an added bonus, the mat came with an Exacto knife. I'm very happy with this purchase, which cost much less than the one I was originally considering.

I happened to see this in use on a YouTube video about foundation paper piecing, and ordered it immediately. When used with my Cricut light box, it makes my paper piecing more accurate.
