I purchased the Olfa Cutting Mat through my local quilting shop - at the recommendation of the owner, who has pieced countless quilts and advised even more quilters. In her opinion, this was the best mat for the price. And, since we are friends and fellow-business owners, she is someone I trust.
The size works well for me (24" x 36"), and I have cut strips / squares for two quilts now using my mat. In spite of the fact that many of the cuts are in the same location, there is no indication of even a scratch on my mat. The size is also great since I have been able to use it in several different locations to cut my fabric - including a store counter.
While I know many mats will do the same thing, I have only used this one. And, having both the grids and the inches marked on the one side has made it possible for me to accurately measure my fabric. The other side is unmarked for general cutting.
Because of how it has worked for me, I give it five stars.

Like another reviewer, I've had several of these mats for years and years with no obvious wear. Amazon's everyday price on both sizes is much better than the regular retail price at my local fabric store.

I have kids that love to do art and cut paper. I had this sitting away from my days when I thought I would learn to quilt. But when my son decided he wanted to cut a bunch of paper to do origami, I thought between this and the rotary cutter, it would make quick work of that project.
For cutting paper, you have the grid lines to help you measure -- no ruler required. My only complain is I wish they would put a "lip" on one edge so that the paper doesn't move while you are cutting it.
It is also great as a protective surface while coloring and painting -- particularly when using markers which tend to bleed through paper.
It lasts forever -- I had originally bought my mat back in 1993 and it hasn't "degraded" at all -- it still has the "self-healing" properties for the rotary cutter. The color hasn't faded and it has held its flat shape (despite having been stored standing up).
My only regret is that it took me so long to think of all the uses for this mat!

Every quilter needs this
This has a large surface area and fits great on a cutting table. Makes any quilting project a snap. Many lines for measuring and diagonal cuts.

Not as good as the picture
For the price, it is okay. It only has the grid on one side. I was hoping and assumed that the grid would be on both sides. It does not self-heal. I can attest to that. Read more
