Back of cutting mat
The last year I've read several posts that state the user is also using the back of their cutting mat.
I have a June Taylor mat, probably 7-8 years old and have NEVER used the back.
When it was new, the side with the print (the front) was a little bit rougher in texture, while the back was shiny and smooth. It's still shiny and smooth because like I said, I nevere even considered using it.
The front shows some use, but is still usable.
So, can I use the back too? (I never use the lines printed on the front except for keeping my fabric 'straight,' I use my ruler for measuring)
