HEADLEY TOOLS 18"x24" Thickened Self Healing Cutting Mat, A2 Rotary Cutting Sewing Mat for Crafts, Double Sided 5-Ply Table Cutting Board for Fabric Quilting Patchwork Arts Hobby Project, Pink/Purple

.I build desktop synthesizer controllers for a living, so you could say I have an eye for detail. In my line of work, precision matters right down to the millimeter, even the micrometer, so the small things aren’t just important, they’re everything. And I can tell you with confidence: this cutting pad is accurate.First off, major credit for how it was shipped, it came in a large enough box to lay flat, no bending, or warping. This is not rolled! That’s rare, and a big deal. So if you happen to get this rolled, note: that isn't from the manufacturer, that was the person who packed it. The weight of it is solid, nothing cheap about it. You can feel the quality right away.And look at the print, the graphics are extremely fine and high quality. The angles and rulers are dead-on and super helpful, but the real bonus? The circle guides. They’re perfect for quickly measuring knob diameters when I’m building my controllers. Honestly, it feels like this pad was custom made for my workflow.I couldn’t be happier, and for under ten bucks? I don’t know how they make this at that quality and still turn a profit. This is the real deal, folks. Trust an engineer on that.

I’ve been using the Hadley Tools 12x18 self-healing cutting mat for a few weeks now, and it has completely exceeded my expectations. The first thing I noticed is how thick and sturdy it is compared to other mats I’ve owned. It lays flat, doesn’t slip around, and truly holds up to repeated cutting — especially with my rotary cutter.The self-healing surface really works! After cutting, the mat doesn’t show obvious marks, which means it’ll last longer and keep my workspace neat. I also love the double-sided design — one side has inches, the other has centimeters, with clear grid lines and helpful angle guides that make measuring and cutting a breeze.It’s the perfect size for small to medium projects: not too bulky, easy to store, and big enough to handle fabric, paper, and vinyl without feeling cramped. Whether you're into sewing, quilting, or crafting, this mat is a solid investment. For the price, the quality is unbeatable. Highly recommend!

This is a must-have if you need a work mat, or a cutting surface. Quality of the mat is fantastic, and it has worked very well for me without any issue. The size has been great for my hobby needs, and it covers a lot of area to do my work.

Wonderful strong mats to use on any surface, thick. I use them for cutting my fabric & laces. Easily line up straight or curve & measure items at same time. Love these colors. Nice value for the money.

I have recently gotten into painting and building miniatures. I bought this so I can save my desk from cuts with knives and paint spills and glue drops. So far they have been working great for me. My only complaint and why I do not give it 4 stars is because it does not have any sort of textured or rubber edge / cover on the back side of it. I know it is a double sided mat so that is probably why they don't add some for of slip resistant material to one side - but it would have been nice if there was even a tiny rubber edge to help it not slip around so much when being used like I have seen other brands do.Overall solid value for money - I am 98% satisfied with my purchase!

This is an absolutely great mat for cutting on. It's heavy duty easily cuts fabric with a rotary cutter. No issues noted at all. Very happy with my purchase.

Great value AND excellent quality. The thickness of this cutting mat exceeded my expectations. This mat is thicker than both of my brand name cutting mats. Also, the smaller size of this cutting mat is easy to store and perfect for cutting small pieces. I am very happy with my purchase!

I'm using this for my miniatures and paper crafting ventures--it's heavy-ish, double-sided, and just the right size for a desk or table, giving you room to work with. I didn't want a bigger one, and this is just right.So far, it doesn't mind that my X-acto knife slices into it like butter!
