Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the big mat change about cutting?
- The fold count — on small mats, yardage hangs off the edge and drags cuts off-line, or gets folded twice and doubles every error. At 36" deep, folded fabric lies entirely on the mat, and 60" of length squares big tops and cuts long borders in single placements.
- The dual-side logic?
- Grid when measuring, blank when not — template and free-cut work reads cleaner without grid lines underneath; flipping the mat is the feature.
- Why do big mats die early — and how not to?
- Heat and storage — sun through a window or a rolled corner warps a large mat permanently. Flat storage away from heat, plus periodic rotation so cuts don't groove one lane, keeps the self-healing working for years.
- Its place in the QS system?
- The surface layer of the accuracy chain — grip rulers hold the fabric, the Deluxe cutter tracks the edge, and this mat carries the blade cleanly; all three engineered as one station.
- Who needs 36 x 60?
- Dedicated cutting tables — studios and quilting rooms where the mat lives permanently on its own surface; portable-class cutting stays on smaller mats.
