Questions & Answers

It says 11x10 on the picture, but it shows 10x16 on the description. Sricker shows 5x18 while 5x5 on 5. ?

The mat has a border around it. 11 7/8 inches by 17 3/4 inches is how large the outside of the mat is. An inner dimension of 11 1/8 cubic inches and 17 1/8 cubic inches is used to measure.

There is no mention of whether these mats work with the silhouette cameo 3 cutter machine or another cutter machine like that god awful Cricut machine?

All of the cutting and embossing machines do not support them. In that respect, I suggest visiting youtube and searching for self-cutting mats in any of the machines that you have available. The very thing you're searching for is what I'm looking for There was only one that was the right size without having to cut it, but it was also extra expensive to ship. I saw this flip to blue mat in the store in 12 x 18 and decided to trim it down to the 8 if I wanted to. I need a 5 x 12 to match my Spellbinder Plantinum 8 dies. There is an embosser and die cut on a 5. This is essentially what some people call a hack. It'll probably just take a while for me to get used to that terminology. Many people use cut to size wires in their embossers and die cut machines to avoid warping and wear out of the original plates that come with the machine. I'm not associated with the silhouette or cricut machines--just the inspiration. My experience with these mats has not been with them, so your question makes me wonder whether it can be used. Often circumstances must be just right for cutting machines to function properly, and things must be perfectly in place in order for that to happen. Your comments about Cricut are confusing to me since I was considering buying their New Circut Maker at a price of about $229 to $300 depending on bundles and colors. My idea was to replace my Inspiration Pazzles machine that was way ahead of its time about Despite this, I have not really used it During the two days he spent with me showing me the ropes with it, a dear friend from ID showed me the ropes but I just wasn't interested. I mix and match different dies and folders from various brands to achieve my desired results. The size of 8 will be adequate if the size is small enough. I jump on this deal since it is 5" on one side and is a great price. I ordered an array of mats by Pazzle as well as mats by Cricut and other brands after getting inspired by Pazzles. With regard to cutting only machines, I believe it is best to watch YouTube videos on how to work well and set your pressure and blade settings. Because it allowed me to use all small plates, I chose the Spellbinder. It's said to work well for people who use it. I agree with others that this would be a good idea for X Act as if you are cutting patterns or fabrics with rotary cutters. I do not know what size your electronic cutters use, but I am pretty sure the Inspiration mat is 12 x 12 or 12 x 14. They also sell an embossing mat that is 13 x 15". Not knowing all the brands, there are no doubt some differences Stay safe and watch the videos, as they might make a big difference. I've heard that people love the circuits they have the few I know about. Now I'm going to take a break from looking for a new job. The alphabet dies I have come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles of script are perfectly suited to the company. a person's name out of cardstock, add a few paw prints cut out, flowers or stars or hearts, and make customized note pads out of the result. like utilitarian items combined with some whimsy. While I appreciate the handmade cards our recipients make, I do not get involved in many of the detailed and fancy tasks they do. As in I like to add metallic touches or use shiny metallic vinyl, but for the most part I don't have the patience to deal with digitizing or programing. I am good at digitizing, but it takes me a long time to do it. I wish you a lot of fun and safety while you work on Although the mat is not appropriate for the machines you stated, it may still be useful in some cases. It doesn't seem to be the case, at least not to my knowledge. It may be helpful to search YouTube for ideas regarding that as well. It's so funny.

From what material does this object appear to be made?

There is no way for me to know for Having used mine a lot, I can tell you that it is a great product. With a Razer blade, I have cut things on it and it has proved to be extremely

Would you be able to draw on it over a table? If you use a pencil on it with a rough texture, does it make a mark on the paper?

Neither rough nor smooth as glass, it is somewhere in between. There are some soft spots in it, but it won't leave any marks on paper or any surface it may be used on.

This trick works
3/5

I described what happened as follows This 12" x 18" GREEN/BLACK Professional Self Healing 5-Panel Scroll is a self-healing scroll. The actual dimensions of this mat are 12" x 8"

(This mat is not acting as a self-healing Another source gave me one and it was fine
3/5

It started getting cuts after a short period of buying it and using it for my quilt cutting? Some of the lines I cut along are getting cuts as well? Definitely not a purchase I will make.

The size described is NOT the size that is Although the mat measures 11x17 and not 12x18 as described, it is still good enough for what I intend to use it for, so I am not returning it* However, I do not recommend ordering it if you are in need of the larger size

It is not what it is advertised to be The same has been noted by others
3/5

To see if I can flatten it, I will have to let it warm up and place weight on In addition, the grid is 11" x 17" not 12" x There are a total of less than 12" x 18" by a total of 14" 30 x 45 cm would be a better estimate. (If you look closely with a magnifying glass, there are six layers) But the mat says that there are only five There must be a typo here The gridlines are accurate (better than 1/100th of an inch from center to center). The reason for this is that I give three out of five stars to accuracy. A 5 out of 5 would be achieved if the gridlines were 12" by 18", but I think that is more an error in the product description than an error in the As soon as I can get it flat, I will test its durability. There is no reason for it to not be allowed This slip occurred. Surfaces with a solid surface will slip. Certainly, it seems like the slip has occurred There are some objects that the mat is resistant to being placed on. The fact is that it is not true This is a nice glare reduction.

For the price. A 3 out of 5 rating. Fiskers does offer a mat with actual 18" x 24" gridlines for a little more money, if you want those gradations.

The best cutting mat I have ever used
4/5

Make sure the surface is clean before cleaning it. It is a fantastic cutting mat that I purchased for cutting fabrics. The other day, I was cutting circles in an old shirt It was difficult to hold down the material and fabric of the t-shirt so I used a small piece of tape in each corner to hold them in place. Additionally, I was able to remove the white lines on the mat by doing this. Therefore, be careful to not damage the mat if you use tape. If you use the right solution to get the gunk off, there may be a loss of Using the mat for a small area does not take away from the quality or use of the mat for me, but it's just an observation to keep in mind when using it.

What a great product, I did not know about it Usually I use a cardboard board as a cutting board, and as you know, that doesn't always work well
5/5

It is so easy to align the board and make cutting more accurate because the board self heals or you cannot even see the cutting line. The lines and angle guides on the board help you line up the cutting and make it more I think this is a great board that every family should own. Children can use it.

It's not good to measure with it
3/5

The mat I bought is 12 x 18 and I like how thick it is. My Alvin mat is definitely thinner, so this mat is a nice surface to use for cutting. In spite of this, I do not like the way the ruler guides are set up. You can't use them all! The cutting mat ends at the edge! (On a 12 x 18 mat, the ruler guidelines extend from 9" to 15"). Before the outer edge of the 9 x 15 inch panel shows the measurements, there is an inch of blank space at the perimeter. As a cutting mat, it's a good choice if you will just be using it for cutting We guarantee you will enjoy using our healing mat. There is a possibility that you would be frustrated if you were going to measure on it.

It is not worth your time
3/5

If i could give it a 0 star rating, Aside from the fact that the mat took 2 weeks longer to arrive than promised, it was not self-healing or double sided. My blade went through this paper thin awful mat as soon as I began cutting material on it. As Amazon's best selection, I expected a lot more but it turned out to be a waste of money and a scam. There is no way I would recommend this to others.
