The Fiskars mat is 13x13 and works very well

I have both sizes and use them both pretty much equally. I even have 2 of the 12" so that one is always packed with my materials for quilting classes.

17in cutting mat
I have just finished squaring up 56 12 1/2 in blocks and would have had problems with smaller mat. I really like the big one. Can always cut smaller pieces on it but needing it for bigger blocks make it essential for me:thumbup::thumbup:

I have both sizes and use both of them. Best $ I spent.

Joanns' has a 14" X 14" on sale right now for $20.39. Although it's a Fiskars, I have used the large Fiskars mat at home with no problems. I buy Omnigrid for the one I use most often, but truthfully, I can't tell much difference. For something I wouldn't use that often, I'd much rather only have the $20 invested rather than the $70, and that was the sale price!!

Having said that... It isn't wearing as nicely as my big Fiskars mat. It doesn't appear to be very self healing and is looking really funky. It doesn't get a lot of use but it still looks terrible considering its age. I wish they could have used a better material in making it... That's why I like this board. We learn from others mistakes so we don't have to make so many ourselves. LOL |
I have the 12" by my sewing machine and it's perfect for my needs. I think size depends on how & where you'll use it.

I have the 17" and find it works for whatever sized block I am doing. I wouldn't want to downsize it.
