I bought an Alvin mat to replace my old June Tailor mat. What a difference. Love the Alvin mat ~ got it on Amazon where it was less expensive than other online sites. I found an Olfa mat at an estate sale ~ didn't know what they had but priced at a $1. After arguing with them, I gave them $10 and it was still a deal for a 24 X 36 inch mat which is essentially brand new. I kept the June Tailor one for DH when he wants to cut stuff on a mat or for purse bottoms if I ever get around to making them.
