I myself always like reading the reviews here on Amazon and have therefore decided to use this product. The mat is great. I've cut out a lot and so far I could not recognize my deep notches. TOP! The Linieal is also great and is ideal for patchwork. The rotary cutter surprised me the most. I have a precaution ordered yet another, because these allegedly not be giut here. However, I must say that it cuts a lot better than the other. I recommend this set each sewing enthusiasts!
