5.0 out of 5 stars Olfa cutting mat, August 4, 2007

I needed a smaller more portable mat as well as one that could more easily be turned when cutting smaller pieces. I have been using these mats since they hit the market and am very pleased by their performance. It is important to make sure that you always hold your cutter perpendicular to the mat to insure proper 'healing'.

2.0 out of 5 stars What a stink, May 20, 2009

I used this cutting board in my sewing class and loved it. No odor at all from the one in class.
I got my mat and it smelled as though I had hit a skunk. My husband made me put it on the back porch. Then I learned that a friend of mine had one for 8 months and hers still stinks. Her husband won't let her use it inside. I went online and read that others had found the same odor problem from these Olfa mats. Some said that the smell diminished after a few weeks but others said it has never stopped stinking.
I e-mailed the Olfa distributor to ask if the company has other suggestions. I may just have to send it back.
Great cutting mat if you don't mind a strong toxic smell.

This mat is a great little workhorse. I have had mine for years, and it is just as fresh as if it were new. The size is very convenient for cutting fabric strips. It is easy to line up the fabric between grid lines, and it is wide enough to cut through fabric folded just in half from selvedge to selvedge.
