Only for special/large projects
By KYP
When you buy the expression machine - it doesn't come with this sized mat! You're reading this right, it DOES NOT INCLUDE a 12x24 MAT! Which is annoying because you need this mat to do projects larger than 12". This isn't an every day mat, this is really best used for projects over 12" (especially for the price point)

Couple of things to keep in mind -
Make sure you adjust the blade depth that's appropriate for the material you're cutting - example, don't use a 6 for vellum. This will cut into your mat, and will ruin your mat. It seems like that is the quickest cause of mat destruction.
Don't leave your material on the mat for ages - it may actually keep your material STUCK on the mat (oops)
Keep the plastic protector on the mat when you're not using it
You can flip the mat around to use it - (the arrow doesn't have to point at the machine, when your mat is not sticky, flip the arrow to face you.
Another tip i've heard - wipe the mat wi th some water to make it tacky again

LASTLY!!!! These mats are kinda pricy, because you NEED it to use the machine - so keep checking your local ads for their 40% (or 50% if you're lucky) coupons to get these mats.

Better
By Janelle Vergien
My cricut is only 6x12, and I guess I thought that this was 6x12 also. When I recieved it, I saw the box and was like "Oh dear lord, box big enough?" thats when it hit me I ordered the wrong size. But this actually turned out better, becuase even though my cricut is definitely not this big, I cut the mats into 6X12 sizes, and now I have 8 brand new cutting mats!I should pay more attention to what it is I am looking at online, and yes to answer your question I am blonde, but this turned out so much better than just buying the size I actually needed. Score!

Not the mats pictured in the listing.
By Amy Mcdevitt
The photo attached to this listing needs to be changed. I specifically ordered this item because it showed the old style mats. I got the new style and I do not like them as much. The stickiness on the new mats is too strongt at first and doesnt last as long as the old style mats. I was very disappointed when I opened my box to find the new version of the mats.
