I will second this!! I have 3 Martelli mats - (got these as I was replacing my original Fiskars and Olfa mats) - and I DO LOVE THEM!! These, with their ergonomic rotary cutters make cutting out fabric a breeze.........and every month they have a REDLINE special for on line purchases where one or more of their items is 50% off.......If you have not yet signed up for this, go to their web page and find REDLINE and complete the contact form.....really worth it!
