My current cutting surfaces are the kitchen table (hubs made), a 28"x48" 1/2" thick piece of plywood on 2 pocket base cabinets in my sewing room at just below the elbow height. Can be easily be moved since it isn't attached but heavy enough doesn't slide easily.

The other thing too is that not all mats are created equally. I bought the large fold out sewing table from JoAnn's a while back and I also bought the mat to cover it, about 60in long or more. I was so excited. Then I started having problems cutting with my brand new cutter. I knew my cutter was good, I watched them demo it. I don't know what made me think of it but I put my other mat on top of the new one, no more problems. I tried this a few times. It seems the mat after only using it a few times wasn't self healing like it said. To say the least it no longer gets used except for a protector for the table. Talk about wasted money. It was expensive too.
