OLFA 6x8 Self Healing Rotary Cutting Mat for Quilting, Sewing, & Crafts

OLFA, the Pioneering Brand in Rotary Cutting Tools

Since Yoshio Okada, the founder of OLFA CORPORATION, invented the world's first snap-off blade cutter in 1956, OLFA has been committed to developing practical and safe hand-held cutting tools. OLFA brand blades are made with top-quality materials, forged with technologies that stem from traditional sword-making, sharpened with technologies that give a blade life, and ultimately finished with the craftsmanship that brings all of this together. The holders and handles that allow users to gain the full cutting performance of these high-quality blades are designed, developed, and manufactured in Japan and subjected to stringent quality checks throughout the process. OLFA is proud of the unwavering quality that goes into every product it makes.

The OLFA 6" x 8" Self-Healing Rotary Cutting Mat (RM-6x8): A Cut Above the Rest

Designed for use with rotary cutters, the OLFA Self-Healing Rotary Cutting Mat is a versatile and durable cutting surface. Its self-healing properties reseal surface cuts, maintaining a continually smooth cutting surface and extending the life of your blade. The triple-layer heat welding process used to create these rotary mats further increases their shelf-life.

Featuring a double-sided design, this cutting mat offers two distinct options. The solid side can be used for general cutting, while the grid-line side enables precise measurements and accurate cutting of straight lines and angles. This makes the 6" x 8", 1.5mm thick mat perfect for small-scale craft projects, such as cutting small shapes, English Paper Piecing, and making hexagons. Its compact size also makes it great for traveling.

To ensure the longevity of your OLFA rotary mat, it is recommended to store it flat and out of direct sunlight to prevent warping. Additionally, the mat is designed for use with rotary cutters only, and not for use with fixed-blade utility knives.

The OLFA Standard of Excellence

As the inventor of the Rotary Cutter in 1979, OLFA has maintained a standard of cutting excellence for its quality and durability. By pairing OLFA brand rotary cutters, blades, and cutting mats, users can achieve optimal results in their crafting and cutting projects.

The OLFA Self-Healing Rotary Cutting Mat is a testament to the company's commitment to innovation and quality. Its self-healing properties, double-sided design, and compact size make it a must-have for any crafter or quilter who values precision, efficiency, and the longevity of their cutting tools.
