I'm with you bella- they are not that expensive.. I have multiple mats -usually have 2-3 of each of the mats on hand, with the exception of the 5x10 ones.. .. .. Just need to know when you need to switch the mat for another and use the old mat for another die before it becomes useless.. Ie- my 10x10 that I used to cut 6.5 now is being used for any of the 5x10 dies.. Same with the 6x12 mats, Ill save them for the 5x10 dies as well.. ..
