Any pointers regarding them? Or should I come to my senses and return it?
I love them. I have 2. I have a cutting table (right now piled high with junk) made to fit the mat and another one on my 60x80 ironing table. When I lay out a quilt to sandwich I lay the mat under it to pin the layers together. That way I don't pin into the ironing surface. They don't smell, like the self-healing ones do when you first get them, and I like the white color.
