It has a very rough surface now and the fabric is getting into the grooves and not cutting. I switched to a softer mat and things seem to be going better. I think mats need to be replaced even if they are slf healing or what ever.

I was having the same problem for a while and then I noticed my blade was a little loose, not enough to even see. Then I tried tightening the screw holding the blade in and, wow the difference. Like cutting with a brand new blade. Boy, do I feel silly. Just had a screw loose, but then my family has been saying that for years!

I give mine (screw I mean) a little twist every day when I first pick it up, nearly second nature now, along with thumbing the cover over between EVERY cut. I'm amazed how often I see so-called professional quilters, on You Tube for example, waving their cutter around with the blade OUT. :shock: Soooo dangerous! :-(
