Calibre Art Self Healing Rotating Cutting Mat, Perfect for Quilting & Art Projects, 18x18 (17" Grid)

After reading some of the reviews for the Calibre Art rotating cutting mat I decided to try it rather than another olfa mat. I have a smaller rotating mat made by olfa but I have to say this rotating mat is much nicer. It doesn't come apart like the olfa one always does and the base is a bit thicker. The self healing mat is excellent, I have cut alot on it since buying and it's very good quality. The price is great too. I would definitely recommend buying the Calibre Art mat.

This cutting mat is a great size for when working on my larger quilt blocks. The rotating feature makes it safer, easier, and more accurate to cut all sides of my blocks. The mat is durable, easy to clean, and the self healing feature makes it long lasting.

The cutting mat arrived on time and well packaged. It is very good quality self healing mat which rotates. I have found it very useful in a numberer of crafts such as quilling, painting etc. The fact that it rotates so easily is helpful. I expect from the quality that it will last for years and when it does wear out I would not hesitate to order a new one from Calibre. Thank you

This is an amazing product! A cutting mat on a turn-table? What? Who knew? I’m not a quilter, so I had never come across this, but Facebook thinks, because I sew, I must be a quilter, and advertised a product similar to this to me. It was too small & too expensive, so I turned to Amazon to find the largest one available, for the most affordable price, with the best reviews—and this one is a great value for its size and it works! I sew lingerie and all of my pattern pieces are fairly small, as are the fabrics I use. This cutting mat, on top of my cutting table, makes the cutting process so much easier and quicker! I am always cutting the right side of the pattern and don’t need to walk around my table or try to turn the non-turning cutting mat *or* my pattern & fabric! (A “lefty” would always be cutting the left side of their pattern!) It seems to be durable, but I’ve only been using it for a few short months—but it’s still wonderful & in good shape, just like the day it arrived. (I always use sharp, new, and nice rotary cutter blades, so I haven’t had to press very hard, which does extend the life of any self-healing mat.) It did smell a bit at first, but i just let it “off-gas” on my shaded porch for a few days. This is standard with any self-healing mat that has been protected in plastic & not just left out on a retail shelf (to off-gas before you buy it!)

Works great! I’ve tried smaller ones and other brands, but this size is perfect. Large enough to cut quilt blocks.
