Headley Tools 18"x12" Thickened Self Healing Cutting Mat, A3 Rotary Cutting Sewing Mat for Crafts, Double Sided 5-Ply Table Cutting Board for Fabric Quilting Leather Hobby Project, Grey/Black

This is an excellent cutting mat. In fact, I doubt there is a better mat than this one. I use it for a variety of materials - wood veneer, leather, cardboard, etc. It is very sturdy, quite firm, and lays flat from edge to edge. It has a smooth yet non-slip surface, and when used with very sharp tools, its self healing properties are excellent. Because is so durable and double sided, it will last for many years. It is well worth the $38 I paid for it.

Love the thickness. The quality is perfect. Great for cutting fabric.

Love EVERYTHING about product. The construction, the information on the Madding board, the healing part, the size, and it’s just beautiful. I would be an ambassador for this. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who’s looking for a reasonably priced board of this magnitude others that I looked at were anywhere from $63-$73.

I'm very happy that I decided to go with this cutting mat after looking at so many options. It's working great for my needs, and I'm glad I didn't get something larger. I can keep this on my craft table for cutting and I cover it with another type of material when I'm gluing. It's worked out great. The mat is thick enough and feels of high quality. It had a bit of smell when I first opened it but that smell went away in no time. I haven't noticed it since day 1. It's great for cutting. the mat hasn't warped at all and it is not sticky.

I own a smaller cutting mat that I love and use often, but having to slide it around to cut large patterns was awkward and resulted in uneven cuts. I finally splurged on this much larger mat. It definitely makes cutting patterns so much easier. The quality is ok - it’s much thinner and firmer than my smaller mat, which isn’t problematic in and of itself, but I worry about its durability over time. In my experience, self healing mats have a bit of give which allows theme to fill back in and “self-heal”. This mat seems like it relies on its density and hard surface to protect the surface underneath. I can already see some very shallow scratches with only a handful of uses, so I’m cautiously optimistic. If it’s a good value for the money will depend on how well it holds up.

(Update) (Update) Following several modeling sessions, I observed another remarkable feature of this mat: its texture. There is sufficient texture to ensure not only self-healing but also the stability of items placed on it, preventing them from sliding around and getting lost. (Original post) I recently purchased the yellow print on green mat, size 12x18. I’m pleased with the sturdiness of the mat, as advertised. It’s also more affordable than the store version, which is a bonus. I haven’t had a chance to test the self-healing feature yet, but I was initially concerned that the yellow print might be difficult to read. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the print is easy on the eyes and doesn’t distract from my project. Overall, I’m very happy with my purchase and would recommend Headley Tools to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable mat.

This mat arrived properly packaged flat and NOT rolled. I was so happy. It had measurements in inches which is what I needed and the colors were vibrant and beautiful. I am very happy with this purchase.

Great mat. I use it for working with fondant and decorating cakes. It’s sturdy, easy to clean, and I really like the color - stains and coloring don’t show on it. The size is perfect too, exactly what I was looking for.

ممتازة جودته لكنه قطعة واحدة بوجهين وليس قطعتين منفصل

Prix intéressant pour la taille. super

Nul ! ce tapis n'est pas autocicatrisant. A la 1ère tentative de coupe avec un cutter, une belle marque reste présente sur le tapis. Celle-ci est visible à l'œil nu et se sent quand on passe le doigt dessus. C'est le 4ème tapis autocicatrisant que j'achète, tous verts et en A4 ou A3. J'avais besoin d'un gris....déception. Je vais reprendre un vert, mais d'une autre marque.

5 stars.

Se siente de buena calidad y gruesa a buen precio
