Frequently Asked Questions
- What does dual sided mean for a cutting mat?
- The mat has two usable surfaces — typically one side with a standard grid and one with a different grid pattern or scale. This allows quilters to choose the grid most useful for their current cutting task.
- Is 24" x 36" the right size for most quilters?
- Yes — 24" x 36" is the standard production cutting mat size used in most quilting studios. It accommodates folded yardage cutting across the full 44" fabric width folded once.
- How long does a self-healing mat last?
- A quality self-healing mat used with sharp blades on both sides can last years. Avoid leaving in direct sunlight, excessive heat, or cold, which can warp the mat permanently.
- Is the Quilters Select mat compatible with Quilters Select rulers?
- Yes — designed as part of the coordinated Quilters Select precision cutting system with matching measurement grids.
- Can I use non-Quilters Select blades on this mat?
- Yes — any quality 45mm rotary cutter with a sharp blade will work on this mat. Using sharp blades is the most important factor in mat longevity.
