Ladies, We ALL know that SIZE DOES MATTER, Quit Fooling Yourself
Ladies, size really does matter! And don’t let anyone try to tell you otherwise. We’ve all heard the old sayings that “size doesn’t matter” or “good things come in small packages”, and my personal favorite, “It’s not the size that counts, it’s how you use it.” Heck, we’ve heard them since we were young adults.Come on, let’s face it. SIZE DOES MATTER. All these other sayings and “truisms” were started by people who didn’t have big tools. They were started as a means to cover up inadequacies and ever since, we have been told that we need to accept them.Well, I’m here to tell you that I’m done accepting other people’s false truisms. I’m done being told to accept and believe their lies. I’m done playing the patsy and pretending what they say is true. It’s not. I’m going to stand up and say that I FIRMLY believe that SIZE DOES MATTER. The bigger the tool, the better. Yes, how you use it matters, but if you are starting with a small, inadequate tool, you will always be wondering about what you are missing out on. When it comes down to it, in the end, you can only do so much with a few inches. It’s frustrating and just never fully satisfies.If you are lucky and wise to have found a big tool to play with and use, and those of you out there who have know who you are, then you know what I am talking about. No more frustration from not being able to finish the job without having to jump through hoops or make up for its limited size. No more having to always be flipping things over, turning around, trying to make it stay when it wants to just keep slipping off and falling because it’s just too small.A big, properly sized tool is just a pleasure to use. It fits well, doesn’t let things roll or slide off and gives you the size you need to really fool around and discover your inner creative self. It lets you use your imagination, to discover, to see new things instead of spending and wasting your time trying to make a small, inadequate tool do the job of a big, pleasurable one.We all know we want this tool. We know we should always get the biggest tool of its type that we possibly can. We appreciate its self healing ability for those times that we may have used it too much or too hard. We don’t have to worry, just give it a little time and it will spring back from all the hard use we put it through. It’s durable and meant to last for many, many years of pleasurable enjoyment. If you don’t have a private room to use it and store it in, just keep it under your bed. But please, whatever you do to it or how you use it, please don’t roll it up and toss it in a corner. It needs to be kept in a prone position if it is going to continue to give you years of pleasure and enjoyment.Yes it comes with lines on both sides, and unlike our own lines, these lines are really highly appreciated. Wrinkles they are not, they are nice, straight 30, 45 and 60 degree angles. I personally find myself using the 60 degree angle the most. I like a nice, strong angle that I know is there to help me see my dreams, my desires and my imaginations come true.It’s an intriguing tool, too, having both a light and dark side to it because as we all know, sometimes you can see better when with the dark side. Just choose the light or the dark side to stop any boredom from setting in. Give it a gentle caress with a soft lint-free cloth when you are done using it. You want to keep those new cut lines free from small debris and lint so that they will heal, otherwise, foreign particles will get into the cut lines and clog its pores. When you have finished for the day, be sure to store it either flat or hanging from the wall. Let it have a meaningful rest so that it will be there and fulfill your needs the next time around.Now, like me, go forth and set your imagination free with this tool! And remember, the bigger the tool, the better!If you liked this review, Follow me on Amazon if you wish to be notified as I post new reviews.

This One Works
I looked at a lot of products and their reviews and I’m glad I chose this brand. While it is not as large as I wanted I found it to be excellent quality in terms of self-healing. So far I have only used it on sheer cotton material so I cannot say how it would work with thinker fabric. But for my project (a Regency ball gown pattern) it was a time saver. I especially like the clean cuts compared to using scissors and the need for less pinning. It gives the raw edges a pretty good finish.

Good purchase As described
Works as stated. Great mat. Highly recommended. Used it as a surface to wrap presents

Me encantó es muy grande, amé el color se ve resistente, yo lo compré para trabajar en la pasta y la verdad me encantó no se le pega nada, lo recomiendo.

Excelente artículo, perfecto para hacer cortes sin lastimar la mesa.La navaja corre perfectamente y no obstruye en ningún momento el material a cortar.Muy recomendado.

Excelente producto. Cubre bien la superficie de trabajo. Me hubieres encanares o que también trajera cm para medir. Pero esta muy bien.
