Default Pink Havels Cutting Mat

Does anyone here use the Havels Cutting Mat? I am super impressed with their rotary cutter, scissors and seam rippers. I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion on the Havels Pink Mat. Thank you

Pink sounds lovely! I looked at the pics but the markings might be hard to work with for cutting. It looks busy to me. Hopefully, others have experience with the mat.

I do like the markings on the green Olfa mats. Easy to read for fabric placement and cutting.

I've used one for over a year now. It's 18 x 24 and I got it free when I purchased their rotary cutter{great deal}. I love mine and the pink color kinda makes you just want to cut and sew something!

I have one also. Love the pink but there isn't enough contrast between the mat and the white markings for me.

Interesting information! Perhaps using black for the lines would have been better. Thank you for your replies.

I love the Havels one. It is much thicker than the Olfa. Not sure if it will last any longer.

I don't use the lines on a cutting mat to cut. I don't think the white lines should be a problem. It's not a big investment so try it. Havel has quality products. I love the serrated blade scissors.

I also love Havels scissors! They are very easy to use for my arthritic hands!

Me, too! The lines are not white, though.
