A Cutting Mat is used while cutting with a rotary cutter or utility knife because it forms a protective cutting surface and also a measuring guide for fabric.
Choose the cutting mat that is self-healing, reversible and with a grid. To maintain it keep it flat, avoid bending and rolling, avoid sun and extreme temperatures (hot and cold) and cut in different positions to avoid quick wearing and extended usage. The great size would be 24 inch by 36 inch for most of the projects.
It is made up of layers of PVC (poly vinyl chloride or vinyl) material for self-healing. It is helpful for cutting fabric with smooth edge, cutting fabric squares and strips and the bias lines on the mat help in shape cutting and cutting the fabric at angles.
