If I don't buy Martelli I will likely buy Quilter's Select, as I like the colors, black on one side and grey on the other.
Martelli advises that you must use their cutter on their mats otherwise they won't hold up well. Has anyone used other rotary cutters on the Martelli mats and how has the mat held up?
I have several of the Martelli mats and I use their cutters or what ever one is closest to my hand. I love their mats and you can't go wrong with a purchase from them. I will say this though, I recently purchased a small Quilter's Select mat and I love it. So you can't go wrong with either type.
