I have a strip cutter from Fiskars. It works very well with the green self=healing mat. It will eat blades though. The blade sharpener didn't work very well for what it cost.

I had the same experience. Gave mine away.

NO!!! I have one of them and yes they do dull your blades very fast. They are for laying out your fabric for clothing etc. They are not self healing like the Green, pink, yellow etc Self healing boards.

You can use it for routary cutting but as you have found your blade will dull and the board ends up with a lot of cuts in it. I still use mine but I put my self healing cutting board on top when using a routary cutter

According to the Sew Fit Company, who manufactured my mat, it IS a cutting mat. (I just looked at them on-line.) I don't know if all the large ones, regardless of manufacturer, are the same, but I've not had problems with mine and I've had it for about 30 years. I have some small bits to cut for the quilt I am currently piecing; the only 2 small-ish mats I have are Fiskars & June Taylor, so I'll be doing some experimenting with them & my rotary cutters/blades within the next few days. If I come to any conclusions, I'll share with you.

I have this large white mat--I did use the fold up cardboard types for years but you can't cut on those--then I saw a professional seamstress using the white mat and chatted with her about it and she loved it and cut on it and I do the same but usually I use it to measure fabrics and still put the Olfa mats on top when I cut--just habit I guess.

I have the one from Joann's but I don't have enough experience with any other to know if it is dulling my blades. http://www.joann.com/36x59-cutting-mat/xprd74039/

The description says "great for rotary cutters & blades"

I have noticed my blades get dull fast, and thought maybe the 60 mm blades get dull faster than the 45 mm blades I used to use. Now I'm thinking it is the mat. It definitely is not self healing!
