Default Cricut cutting mats

I was wondering if anyone has used these for cutting fabric or are they only meant for paper?

I’m guessing you mean the mats that are used with the Cricut machines.
The Cricut Explore can cut fabric as long as the fabric is bonded. I’ve seen freezer paper used. I’m not sure what color mat you’d use.
The fabric doesn’t need to be bonded using the Cricut Maker with the pink cutting mat. I recently used mine to cut face masks using the Cricut pattern on their Design Space and they cut perfectly.

We just bought a great cutting mat we really like. You can get them from www.walmart.com in a lot of different sizes. They use them on counter for cutting in one of our local quilt stores.

Thank you Mazo for answering.
These mats are green and looked (in the picture anyway) just like the olfa mats, but was not sure about how they would work. Will stick to what I know.
Thanks again
